[PATCH v2] ring-buffer: Prevent inconsistent operation on cpu_buffer->resize_disabled

Write to buffer_size_kb can permanently fail due to cpu_online_mask changed
between two for_each_online_buffer_cpu loops.
The number of increasing and decreasing on cpu_buffer->resize_disable
may be inconsistent, leading that the resize_disabled in some CPUs
becoming none zero after ring_buffer_reset_online_cpus return.
This issue can be reproduced by "echo 0 > trace" and hotplug cpu at the
same time. After reproducing success, we can find out buffer_size_kb
will not be functional anymore.
This patch uses cpus_read_lock() to prevent cpu_online_mask being changed
between two different "for_each_online_buffer_cpu".
Changes in v2:
Use cpus_read_lock() instead of copying cpu_online_mask at the entry of
function
