[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.14 8/9] tracing: Enforce the persistent ring buffer to be page aligned

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

[ Upstream commit c44a14f216f45d8bf1634b52854a699d7090f1e8 ]

Enforce that the address and the size of the memory used by the persistent
ring buffer is page aligned. Also update the documentation to reflect this
requirement.
