Steven Rostedt 033601a32b ring-buffer: add tracing_off_permanent
Impact: feature to permanently disable ring buffer

This patch adds a API to the ring buffer code that will permanently
disable the ring buffer from ever recording. This should only be
called when some serious anomaly is detected, and the system
may be in an unstable state. When that happens, shutting down the
recording to the ring buffers may be appropriate.
