Fix up conflicts in arch/x86/kernel/kprobes.c manually.

Ingo's tree did the insane "add volatile to const array", which just
doesn't make sense ("volatile const"?).  But we could remove the const
*and* make the array volatile to make doubly sure that gcc doesn't
optimize it away..

Also fix up kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c non-data-conflicts manually: the
reader_lock has been turned into a raw lock by the core locking merge,
and there was a new user of it introduced in this perf core merge.  Make
sure that new use also uses the raw accessor functions.
