Steven Rostedt 6f5c4f8109 ring-buffer: Do not warn in ring_buffer_map_get_reader() when reader catches up 
commit aa997d2d2a upstream.

The function ring_buffer_map_get_reader() is a bit more strict than the
other get reader functions, and except for certain situations the
rb_get_reader_page() should not return NULL. If it does, it triggers a
warning.

This warning was triggering but after looking at why, it was because
another acceptable situation was happening and it wasn't checked for.

If the reader catches up to the writer and there's still data to be read
on the reader page, then the rb_get_reader_page() will return NULL as
there's no new page to get.

In this situation, the reader page should not be updated and no warning
should trigger.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
