[for-linus][PATCH 15/15] ring-buffer: Do not record in NMI if the arch does not support cmpxchg in NMI

[Steven Rostedt]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

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.
