Subject: [PATCH] ring-buffer: Do not have boot mapped buffers hook to CPU
 hotplug

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@...dmis.org>

The boot mapped ring buffer has its buffer mapped at a fixed location
found at boot up. It is not dynamic. It cannot grow or be expanded when
new CPUs come online.

Do not hook fixed memory mapped ring buffers to the CPU hotplug callback,
otherwise it can cause a crash when it tries to add the buffer to the
memory that is already fully occupied.

Fixes: be68d63a139bd ("ring-buffer: Add ring_buffer_alloc_range()")
