ring-buffer: User context bit recursion checking



Using context bit recursion checking, we can help increase the
performance of the ring buffer.

Before this patch:

 # echo function > /debug/tracing/current_tracer
 # for i in `seq 10`; do ./hackbench 50; done
Time: 10.285
Time: 10.407
Time: 10.243
Time: 10.372
Time: 10.380
Time: 10.198
Time: 10.272
Time: 10.354
Time: 10.248
Time: 10.253

(average: 10.3012)

Now we have:

 # echo function > /debug/tracing/current_tracer
 # for i in `seq 10`; do ./hackbench 50; done
Time: 9.712
Time: 9.824
Time: 9.861
Time: 9.827
Time: 9.962
Time: 9.905
Time: 9.886
Time: 10.088
Time: 9.861
Time: 9.834

(average: 9.876)

 a 4% savings!
