[GIT PULL] ring-buffer: A couple of fixes for 6.12

ring-buffer: Fixes for v6.12

- Fix ref counter of buffers assigned at boot up

  A tracing instance can be created from the kernel command line.
  If it maps to memory, it is considered permanent and should not
  be deleted, or bad things can happen. If it is not mapped to memory,
  then the user is fine to delete it via rmdir from the instances
  directory. But the ref counts assumed 0 was free to remove and
  greater than zero was not. But this was not the case. When an
  instance is created, it should have the reference of 1, and if
  it should not be removed, it must be greater than 1. The boot up
  code set normal instances with a ref count of 0, which could get
  removed if something accessed it and then released it. And memory
  mapped instances had a ref count of 1 which meant it could be deleted,
  and bad things happen. Keep normal instances ref count as 1, and
  set memory mapped instances ref count to 2.

- Protect sub buffer size (order) updates from other modifications

  When a ring buffer is changing the size of its sub-buffers, no other
  operations should be performed on the ring buffer. That includes
  reading it. But the locking only grabbed the buffer->mutex that
  keeps some operations from touching the ring buffer. It also must
  hold the cpu_buffer->reader_lock as well when updates happen as
  other paths use that to do some operations on the ring buffer.
