Subject[PATCH 4/7] ring-buffer: check for less than two in size allocation
From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

The ring buffer must have at least two pages allocated for the
reader page swap to work.

The page count check will miss the case of a zero size passed in.
Even though a zero size ring buffer would probably fail an allocation,
making the min size check for less than two instead of equal to one makes
the code a bit more robust.
