A CPU coming online for the first time gets its per CPU buffer allocated
by trace_rb_cpu_prepare(), which then adds it to buffer->cpumask. If that
happens while ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() is running, the CPU shows up
after the allocation loop and the install loop walks it with an empty
new_pages list, corrupting the buffer.
Take cpus_read_lock() as ring_buffer_resize() does.
