Pull ring buffer fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Revert: "ring-buffer: Do not have boot mapped buffers hook to CPU
   hotplug"

   A crash that happened on cpu hotplug was actually caused by the
   incorrect ref counting that was fixed by commit 2cf9733
   ("ring-buffer: Fix refcount setting of boot mapped buffers"). The
   removal of calling cpu hotplug callbacks on memory mapped buffers was
   not an issue even though the tests at the time pointed toward it. But
   in fact, there's a check in that code that tests to see if the
   buffers are already allocated or not, and will not allocate them
   again if they are. Not calling the cpu hotplug callbacks ended up not
   initializing the non boot CPU buffers.

   Simply remove that change.

 - Clear all CPU buffers when starting tracing in a boot mapped buffer

   To properly process events from a previous boot, the address space
   needs to be accounted for due to KASLR and the events in the buffer
   are updated accordingly when read. This also requires that when the
   buffer has tracing enabled again in the current boot that the buffers
   are reset so that events from the previous boot do not interact with
   the events of the current boot and cause confusing due to not having
   the proper meta data.

   It was found that if a CPU is taken offline, that its per CPU buffer
   is not reset when tracing starts. This allows for events to be from
   both the previous boot and the current boot to be in the buffer at
   the same time. Clear all CPU buffers when tracing is started in a
   boot mapped buffer.
