ring-buffer: Introducing ring-buffer mapping functions

In preparation for allowing the user-space to map a ring-buffer, add
a set of mapping functions:

  ring_buffer_{map,unmap}()

And controls on the ring-buffer:

  ring_buffer_map_get_reader()  /* swap reader and head */

Mapping the ring-buffer also involves:

  A unique ID for each subbuf of the ring-buffer, currently they are
  only identified through their in-kernel VA.

  A meta-page, where are stored ring-buffer statistics and a
  description for the current reader

The linear mapping exposes the meta-page, and each subbuf of the
ring-buffer, ordered following their unique ID, assigned during the
first mapping.

Once mapped, no subbuf can get in or out of the ring-buffer: the buffer
size will remain unmodified and the splice enabling functions will in
reality simply memcpy the data instead of swapping subbufs.
