Steven Rostedt 98db8df777 ring-buffer: prevent false positive warning 
Impact: eliminate false WARN_ON message

If an interrupt goes off after the setting of the local variable
tail_page and before incrementing the write index of that page,
the interrupt could push the commit forward to the next page.

Later a check is made to see if interrupts pushed the buffer around
the entire ring buffer by comparing the next page to the last commited
page. This can produce a false positive if the interrupt had pushed
the commit page forward as stated above.

Thanks to Jiaying Zhang for finding this race.
