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.

Nit: I did not immediately understand if we could end here with p <
nr_pages (IOW, pages[] not completely filled).
One source of confusion is the "s < nr_subbufs" check in the while loop:
why is "p < nr_pages" insufficient?
For the MM bits:
