Steven Rostedt (Google) 8b318f3032 tracing/ring-buffer: Have polling block on watermark
commit 42fb0a1e84 upstream.

Currently the way polling works on the ring buffer is broken. It will
return immediately if there's any data in the ring buffer whereas a read
will block until the watermark (defined by the tracefs buffer_percent file)
is hit.

That is, a select() or poll() will return as if there's data available,
but then the following read will block. This is broken for the way
select()s and poll()s are supposed to work.

Have the polling on the ring buffer also block the same way reads and
splice does on the ring buffer.
