ring-buffer: Add buffer meta data for persistent ring buffer

Browse source

Instead of just having a meta data at the first page of each sub buffer
that has duplicate data, add a new meta page to the entire block of memory
that holds the duplicate data and remove it from the sub buffer meta data.

This will open up the extra memory in this first page to be used by the
tracer for its own persistent data.
