[PATCH 5.19 141/717] ring-buffer: Have the shortest_full queue be the shortest not longest

commit 3b19d614b61b93a131f463817e08219c9ce1fee3 upstream.

The logic to know when the shortest waiters on the ring buffer should be
woken up or not has uses a less than instead of a greater than compare,
which causes the shortest_full to actually be the longest.
