[PATCH v5 1/4] tracing: Reset last_boot_info if ring buffer is reset

Commit 32dc0042528d ("tracing: Reset last-boot buffers when reading
out all cpu buffers") resets the last_boot_info when user read out
all data via trace_pipe* files. But it is not reset when user
resets the buffer from other files. (e.g. write `trace` file)
Reset it when the corresponding ring buffer is reset too.
Fixes: 32dc0042528d ("tracing: Reset last-boot buffers when reading out all cpu buffers")
