tracing: Do not busy wait in buffer splice

Browse Source 
On a !PREEMPT kernel, attempting to use trace-cmd results in a soft
lockup:

 # trace-cmd record -e raw_syscalls:* -F false
 NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [trace-cmd:61]

The problem is this: tracing_buffers_splice_read() calls
ring_buffer_wait() to wait for data in the ring buffers.  The buffers
are not empty so ring_buffer_wait() returns immediately.  But
tracing_buffers_splice_read() calls ring_buffer_read_page() with full=1,
meaning it only wants to read a full page.  When the full page is not
available, tracing_buffers_splice_read() tries to wait again with
ring_buffer_wait(), which again returns immediately, and so on.

Fix this by adding a "full" argument to ring_buffer_wait() which will
make ring_buffer_wait() wait until the writer has left the reader's
page, i.e.  until full-page reads will succeed.
