tracing: Fix return value of trace_pid_write()

Browse Source 
Setting set_event_pid with trailing whitespace lead to endless write
system calls like below.

    $ strace echo "123 " > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event_pid
    execve("/usr/bin/echo", ["echo", "123 "], ...) = 0
    ...
    write(1, "123 \n", 5)                   = 4
    write(1, "\n", 1)                       = 0
    write(1, "\n", 1)                       = 0
    write(1, "\n", 1)                       = 0
    write(1, "\n", 1)                       = 0
    write(1, "\n", 1)                       = 0
    ....

This is because, the result of trace_get_user's are not returned when it
read at least one pid. To fix it, update read variable even if
parser->idx == 0.

The result of applied patch is below.

    $ strace echo "123 " > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event_pid
    execve("/usr/bin/echo", ["echo", "123 "], ...) = 0
    ...
    write(1, "123 \n", 5)                   = 5
    close(1)                                = 0
