ring-buffer: do not grab locks in nmi

Browse source 
If ftrace_dump_on_oops is set, and an NMI detects a lockup, then it
will need to read from the ring buffer. But the read side of the
ring buffer still takes locks. This patch adds a check on the read
side that if it is in an NMI, then it will disable the ring buffer
and not take any locks.

Reads can still happen on a disabled ring buffer.
