ring-buffer: Do not record in NMI if the arch does not support cmpxchg in NMI
Commit Message
From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>
As the ring buffer recording requires cmpxchg() to work, if the
architecture does not support cmpxchg in NMI, then do not do any recording
within an NMI.
