ring-buffer: add tracing_off_permanent
Impact: feature to permanently disable ring buffer This patch adds a API to the ring buffer code that will permanently disable the ring buffer from ever recording. This should only be called when some serious anomaly is detected, and the system may be in an unstable state. When that happens, shutting down the recording to the ring buffers may be appropriate.
