ring-buffer: only warn on wrap if buffer is bigger than two pages

On boot up, to save memory, ftrace allocates the minimum buffer
which is two pages. Ftrace also goes through a series of tests
(when configured) on boot up. These tests can fill up a page within
a single interrupt.

The ring buffer also has a WARN_ON when it detects that the buffer was
completely filled within a single commit (other commits are allowed to
be nested).

Combine the small buffer on start up, with the tests that can fill more
than a single page within an interrupt, this can trigger the WARN_ON.

This patch makes the WARN_ON only happen when the ring buffer consists
of more than two pages.

[ Impact: prevent false WARN_ON in ftrace startup tests ]
