Instead of using a global per_cpu variable to perform the recursive checks into the ring buffer, use the already existing per_cpu descriptor that is part of the ring buffer itself. Not only does this simplify the code, it also allows for one ring buffer to be used within the guts of the use of another ring buffer. For example trace_printk() can now be used within the ring buffer to record changes done by an instance into the main ring buffer. The recursion checks will prevent the trace_printk() itself from causing recursive issues with the main ring buffer (it is just ignored), but the recursive checks wont prevent the trace_printk() from recording other ring buffers.
