[GIT PULL] ring-buffer: Fix for 7.1

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

Linus,

ring-buffer fix for 7.1:

- Fix accounting of persistent ring buffer rewind

  On boot up, the head page is moved back to the earliest point of
  the saved ring buffer. This is because the ring buffer being read by
  user space on a crash may not save the part it read. Rewinding the head
  page back to the earliest saved position helps keep those events from
  being lost.

  The number of events is also read during boot up and displayed in the
  stats file in the tracefs directory. It's also used for other accounting
  as well. On boot up, the "reader page" is accounted for but a rewind may
  put it back into the buffer and then the reader page may be accounted
  for again.

  Save off the original reader page and skip accounting it when scanning
  the pages in the ring buffer.

    ring-buffer: Do not double count the reader_page
    
    Since the cpu_buffer->reader_page is updated if there are unwound
    pages. After that update, we should skip the page if it is the
    original reader_page, because the original reader_page is already
    checked.
