ring-buffer: Move resize integrity check under reader lock
While using an application that does splice on the ftrace ring
buffer at start up, I triggered an integrity check failure.
Looking into this, I discovered that resizing the buffer performs
an integrity check after the buffer is resized. This check unfortunately
is preformed after it releases the reader lock. If a reader is
reading the buffer it may cause the integrity check to trigger a
false failure.
This patch simply moves the integrity checker under the protection
of the ring buffer reader lock.
