Steven Rostedt 818e3dd30a 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.
