[PATCH] trace/ring_buffer: Fix locking order in ring_buffer_map()

[ssrane_b23@ee.vjti.ac.in]

From: Shaurya Rane <ssrane_b23@ee.vjti.ac.in>

The kernel's lockdep validator detected a circular locking dependency
in ring_buffer_map(). The function was acquiring the per-CPU
'cpu_buffer->mapping_lock' before the global 'buffer->mutex'.

This violates the established locking hierarchy where 'buffer->mutex'
should be acquired first, leading to a potential deadlock.

Fix this by reordering the mutex acquisition to lock 'buffer->mutex'
before 'cpu_buffer->mapping_lock', satisfying the lockdep requirements
and preventing the deadlock.
