Subject: [PATCH v0] trace: Fix race in trace_open and buffer resize call

Below race can come, if trace_open and resize of
cpu buffer is running parallely on different cpus
CPUX                                CPUY
				    ring_buffer_resize
				    atomic_read(&buffer->resize_disabled)
tracing_open
tracing_reset_online_cpus
ring_buffer_reset_cpu
rb_reset_cpu
				    rb_update_pages
				    remove/insert pages
resetting pointer
This race can cause data abort or some times infinte loop in 
rb_remove_pages and rb_insert_pages while checking pages 
for sanity.
Take ring buffer lock in trace_open to avoid resetting of cpu buffer.
