It's been 11 years since the ring_buffer_size() function was updated to use the nr_pages from the buffer->buffers[cpu] structure instead of using the buffer->nr_pages that no longer exists. The comment in the code is more of what a change log should have and is pretty much useless for development. It's saying how things worked back in 2012 that bares no purpose on today's code. Remove it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
