Subject[019/116] tracing: Use same local variable when resetting the ring buffer
2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

commit 283740c619d211e34572cc93c8cdba92ccbdb9cc upstream.

In the ftrace code that resets the ring buffer it references the
buffer with a local variable, but then uses the tr->buffer as the
parameter to reset. If the wakeup tracer is running, which can
switch the tr->buffer with the max saved buffer, this can break
the requirement of disabling the buffer before the reset.

buffer = tr->buffer;
ring_buffer_record_disable(buffer);
synchronize_sched();
__tracing_reset(tr->buffer, cpu);

If the tr->buffer is swapped, then the reset is not happening to the
buffer that was disabled. This will cause the ring buffer to fail.

Found with Li Zefan's ftrace_stress_test.
