[ GIT PULL] tracing: Allow poll() and select() to not block

Tracing: Fix small regression in poll() and select()

With the fix that made poll() and select() block if read would block
caused a slight regression in rasdaemon, as it needed that kind
of behavior. Add a way to make that behavior come back by writing
zero into the "buffer_percentage", which means to never block on read,
poll or select.

    tracing: Fix poll() and select() do not work on per_cpu trace_pipe and trace_pipe_raw
    
    poll() and select() on per_cpu trace_pipe and trace_pipe_raw do not work
    since kernel 6.1-rc6. This issue is seen after the commit
    42fb0a1e84ff525ebe560e2baf9451ab69127e2b ("tracing/ring-buffer: Have
    polling block on watermark").
    
    This issue is firstly detected and reported, when testing the CXL error
    events in the rasdaemon and also erified using the test application for poll()
    and select().
    
    This issue occurs for the per_cpu case, when calling the ring_buffer_poll_wait(),
    in kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c, with the buffer_percent > 0 and then wait until the
    percentage of pages are available. The default value set for the buffer_percent is 50
    in the kernel/trace/trace.c.
    
    As a fix, allow userspace application could set buffer_percent as 0 through
    the buffer_percent_fops, so that the task will wake up as soon as data is added
    to any of the specific cpu buffer.
