Subject: [PATCH 1/9] oprofile: add op_cpu_buffer_write_reserve()

This function prepares the cpu buffer to write a sample.

Struct op_entry is used during operations on the ring buffer while
struct op_sample contains the data that is stored in the ring
buffer. Struct entry can be uninitialized. The function reserves a
data array that is specified by size. Use op_cpu_buffer_write_commit()
after preparing the sample. In case of errors a null pointer is
returned, otherwise the pointer to the sample.
