SubjectRe: [PATCH] tracing: dont reset set_ftrace_filter/notrace when opened with r/w perm

This is exactly what it was suppose to do.

man fopen:

w+ Open for reading and writing. The file is created if it does
not exist, otherwise it is truncated. The stream is positioned
at the beginning of the file.

Which means that if you open a file for "w+" it will truncate it. Hence,
you will remove all previous settings.

What you want is:

a+ Open for reading and appending (writing at end of file). The
file is created if it does not exist. The initial file position
for reading is at the beginning of the file, but output is
always appended to the end of the file.

Change the belowe code from "w+" to "a+" and you get your expected result.

Thus, the current code is correct.
