This critical piece was missing from patch 6...

Subject: [PATCH] printk: ringbuffer: allow reading consistent descriptors

desc_read() will fail to read if a descriptor is in the desc_reserved
queried state because such data would be inconsistent. However, since
("printk: ringbuffer: add finalization/extension support") the
desc_reserved state can have the DESC_COMMIT_MASK flag set, in which
case it _is_ consistent. And indeed, desc_reopen_last() is expecting
a read in this case.

Allow desc_read() to read desc_reserved descriptors if the
DESC_COMMIT_MASK flag is set.
