tracing, ring-buffer: add paranoid checks for loops
While writing a new tracer, I had a bug where I caused the ring-buffer
to recurse in a bad way. The bug was with the tracer I was writing
and not the ring-buffer itself. But it took a long time to find the
problem.
This patch adds paranoid checks into the ring-buffer infrastructure
that will catch bugs of this nature.
Note: I put the bug back in the tracer and this patch showed the error
nicely and prevented the lockup.
