Subject: [GIT PULL] ring-buffer: Cleanup for v6.19



Linus,

- Add helper functions for allocations

  The allocation of the per CPU buffer descriptor, the buffer page
  descriptors and the buffer page data itself can be pretty ugly.
  Add some helper macros and a function to have the code that allocates
  buffer pages and such look a little cleaner.
