[PATCH 2/2] ring-buffer: Do not poll non allocated cpu buffers

From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The tracing infrastructure sets up for possible CPUs, but it uses
the ring buffer polling, it is possible to call the ring buffer
polling code with a CPU that hasn't been allocated. This will cause
a kernel oops when it access a ring buffer cpu buffer that is part
of the possible cpus but hasn't been allocated yet as the CPU has never
been online.
