From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Add an iterator that starts at the end of a trace.dat file and iterates
the events backward in time. That is, the first event will be the last
event in the file, followed by the previous event, etc. This is useful for
looking into what caused an event.

A flag is also added to continue where it last left off, as the end of the
file is not a normal location, it doesn't make sense to have it start
where it last left off like tracecmd_iterate_events() does.

The use case that inspired this change is to analyze cyclictest latency.
First the print of the failed threshold must be found, which is at the end
of the trace. Then the event of the wake up before the failed trace has to
be found, and so on. Having a way to iterate backward is helpful in this
case.
