Steven Rostedt 8789a9e7df ring-buffer: read page interface
Impact: new API to ring buffer

This patch adds a new interface into the ring buffer that allows a
page to be read from the ring buffer on a given CPU. For every page
read, one must also be given to allow for a "swap" of the pages.

 rpage = ring_buffer_alloc_read_page(buffer);
 if (!rpage)
	goto err;
 ret = ring_buffer_read_page(buffer, &rpage, cpu, full);
 if (!ret)
	goto empty;
 process_page(rpage);
 ring_buffer_free_read_page(rpage);

The caller of these functions must handle any waits that are
needed to wait for new data. The ring_buffer_read_page will simply
return 0 if there is no data, or if "full" is set and the writer
is still on the current page.
