[PATCH v1 2/2] ring-buffer: Unify ring buffer minimum page calculations

[Vincent Donnefort <vdonnefort@google.com>]

The codebase scatters hardcoded minimum page limits across multiple
places. Introduce RING_BUFFER_MIN_NR_PAGES and rb_size_to_nr_pages() to
formalize the requirement of two pages in a ring buffer.

Remote and persistent ring buffers must account for the reader page.
