[for-linus][PATCH 4/4] ring-buffer: Allow sparse CPU masks in ring_buffer_desc()

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@kernel.org>]

From: Vincent Donnefort <vdonnefort@google.com>

No user currently relies on sparse CPU masks, but the descriptor logic already
supports them via linear fallback. Remove the arbitrary limitation.
