ring-buffer: add reader lock

Impact: serialize reader accesses to individual CPU ring buffers

The code in the ring buffer expects only one reader at a time, but currently
it puts that requirement on the caller. This is not strong enough, and this
patch adds a "reader_lock" that serializes the access to the reader API
of the ring buffer.
