Subject: ring-buffer: Do not record in NMI if the arch does not support
cmpxchg in NMI
Git-commit: 712292308af2265cd9b126aedfa987f10f452a33
Patch-mainline: v6.7-rc6
References: git-fixes
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.
