[PATCH 1/2] tracing: Non-consuming read for trace remotes with an offline CPU

[Vincent Donnefort <vdonnefort@google.com>]

When a trace_buffer is created while a CPU is offline, this CPU is
cleared from the trace_buffer CPU mask, preventing the creation of a
non-consuming iterator (ring_buffer_iter). For trace remotes, it means
the iterator fails to be allocated (-ENOMEM) even though there are
available ring buffers in the trace_buffer.

For non-consuming reads of trace remotes, skip missing ring_buffer_iter
to allow reading the available ring buffers.
