[for-next][PATCH 2/8] ring-buffer: Add magic and struct size to boot up meta data

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Add a magic number as well as save the struct size of the ring_buffer_meta
structure in the meta data to also use as validation. Updating the magic
number could be used to force a invalidation between kernel versions, and
saving the structure size is also a good method to make sure the content
is what is expected.
