ring-buffer: Synchronize resizing buffer with reader lock
We got a sudden panic when we reduced the size of the ringbuffer. We can reproduce the panic by the following steps: echo 1 > events/sched/enable cat trace_pipe > /dev/null & while ((1)) do echo 12000 > buffer_size_kb echo 512 > buffer_size_kb done (not more than 5 seconds, panic ...)
