[PATCH -tip V2] ring_buffer: fix warning

[Lai Jiangshan]

Sorry for missing Reviewed-by and Acked-by, so I resend it.

Subject: [PATCH -tip V2] ring_buffer: fix warning

kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c: In function 'rb_tail_page_update':
kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:849: warning: value computed is not used
kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:850: warning: value computed is not used

Add "(void)"s to fix this warning.

Changed from V1:
  Add a comment(which is written by Steven) for it.
