ring-buffer: convert to raw spinlocks
Impact: no lockdep debugging of ring buffer
The problem with running lockdep on the ring buffer is that the
ring buffer is the core infrastructure of ftrace. What happens is
that the tracer will start tracing the lockdep code while lockdep
is testing the ring buffers locks. This can cause lockdep to
fail due to testing cases that have not fully finished their
locking transition.
This patch converts the spin locks used by the ring buffer back
into raw spin locks which lockdep does not check.
