Steven Rostedt (VMware) a7e52ad7ed ring-buffer: Have ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() return error on offline CPU
Chunyu Hu reported:
  "per_cpu trace directories and files are created for all possible cpus,
   but only the cpus which have ever been on-lined have their own per cpu
   ring buffer (allocated by cpuhp threads). While trace_buffers_open, the
   open handler for trace file 'trace_pipe_raw' is always trying to access
   field of ring_buffer_per_cpu, and would panic with the NULL pointer.

   Align the behavior of trace_pipe_raw with trace_pipe, that returns -NODEV
   when openning it if that cpu does not have trace ring buffer.

   Reproduce:
   cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/per_cpu/cpu31/trace_pipe_raw
   (cpu31 is never on-lined, this is a 16 cores x86_64 box)

   Tested with:
   1) boot with maxcpus=14, read trace_pipe_raw of cpu15.
      Got -NODEV.
   2) oneline cpu15, read trace_pipe_raw of cpu15.
      Get the raw trace data.

   Call trace:

   [ 5760.968687]  entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25"

This was introduced by the addition of the feature to reuse reader pages
instead of re-allocating them. The problem is that the allocation of a
reader page (which is per cpu) does not check if the cpu is online and set
up for the ring buffer.
