ring-buffer: Make resize disable per cpu buffer instead of total buffer
When the ring buffer becomes writable for even when the trace file is read, it must still not be resized. But since tracers can be activated while the trace file is being read, the irqsoff tracer can modify the per CPU buffers, and this can cause the reader of the trace file to update the wrong buffer's resize disable bit, as the irqsoff tracer swaps out cpu buffers. By making the resize disable per cpu_buffer, it makes the update follow the per cpu_buffer even if it's swapped out with the snapshot buffer and keeps the release of the trace file modifying the same data as the open did.
