Subject: [PATCH 1/3] relay - clean up subbuf switch

Clean up relay_switch_subbuf() and make waking up consumers optional.
    
Over time, relay_switch_subbuf() has accumulated some cruft - this
patch cleans it up and at the same time makes available some of it
available as common functions that any subbuf-switch implementor would
need (this is partially in preparation for the next patch, which makes
the subbuf-switch function completely replaceable).  It also removes
the hard-coded reader wakeup and moves it into a replaceable callback
called notify_consumers(); this allows any given tracer to implement
consumer notification as it sees fit.
