tracing: Fix buffer_ref pipe ops
commit b987222654f84f7b4ca95b3a55eca784cb30235b upstream. This fixes multiple issues in buffer_pipe_buf_ops: - The ->steal() handler must not return zero unless the pipe buffer has the only reference to the page. But generic_pipe_buf_steal() assumes that every reference to the pipe is tracked by the page's refcount, which isn't true for these buffers - buffer_pipe_buf_get(), which duplicates a buffer, doesn't touch the page's refcount. Fix it by using generic_pipe_buf_nosteal(), which refuses every attempted theft. It should be easy to actually support ->steal, but the only current users of pipe_buf_steal() are the virtio console and FUSE, and they also only use it as an optimization. So it's probably not worth the effort. - The ->get() and ->release() handlers can be invoked concurrently on pipe buffers backed by the same struct buffer_ref. Make them safe against concurrency by using refcount_t. - The pointers stored in ->private were only zeroed out when the last reference to the buffer_ref was dropped. As far as I know, this shouldn't be necessary anyway, but if we do it, let's always do it.
