Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ring_buffer: fix typing mistake


Impact: Fix bug

I found several very very curious line.
It's so curious that it may be brought by typing mistake.

When (cpu_buffer->reader_page == cpu_buffer->commit_page):

1) We haven't copied it for bpage is changed:
   bpage = cpu_buffer->reader_page->page;
   memcpy(bpage->data, cpu_buffer->reader_page->page->data + read ... )
2) We need update cpu_buffer->reader_page->read, but
   "cpu_buffer->reader_page += read;" is not right.
