ring-buffer: remove unnecessary cpu_relax
The loops in the ring buffer that use cpu_relax are not dependent on other CPUs. They simply came across some padding in the ring buffer and are skipping over them. It is a normal loop and does not require a cpu_relax. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
