[ Upstream commit 3205f806 ]

I was running the trace_event benchmark and noticed that the times
to record a trace_event was all over the place. I looked at the assembly
of the ring_buffer_lock_reserver() and saw this:

 <ring_buffer_lock_reserve>:

The arrow is the fast path.

After adding the unlikely's, the fast path looks a bit better:
