Mukesh Ojha 6e02a43acd ring-buffer: Handle race between rb_move_tail and rb_check_pages
commit 8843e06f67 upstream.

It seems a data race between ring_buffer writing and integrity check.
That is, RB_FLAG of head_page is been updating, while at same time
RB_FLAG was cleared when doing integrity check rb_check_pages():

  rb_check_pages()            rb_handle_head_page():
  --------                    --------
  rb_head_page_deactivate()
                              rb_head_page_set_normal()
  rb_head_page_activate()

We do intergrity test of the list to check if the list is corrupted and
it is still worth doing it. So, let's refactor rb_check_pages() such that
we no longer clear and set flag during the list sanity checking.

[1] and [2] are the test to reproduce and the crash report respectively.

1:
``` read_trace.sh
  while true;
  do
    # the "trace" file is closed after read
    head -1 /sys/kernel/tracing/trace > /dev/null
  done
```
``` repro.sh
  sysctl -w kernel.panic_on_warn=1
  # function tracer will writing enough data into ring_buffer
  echo function > /sys/kernel/tracing/current_tracer

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
