ring-buffer: Fix polling on trace_pipe

commit 97b8ee84 upstream.

ring_buffer_poll_wait() should always put the poll_table to its wait_queue
even there is immediate data available.  Otherwise, the following epoll and
read sequence will eventually hang forever:

1. Put some data to make the trace_pipe ring_buffer read ready first
2. epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, trace_pipe_fd, ee)
3. epoll_wait()
4. read(trace_pipe_fd) till EAGAIN
5. Add some more data to the trace_pipe ring_buffer
6. epoll_wait() -> this epoll_wait() will block forever

~ During the epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD,...) call in step 2,
  ring_buffer_poll_wait() returns immediately without adding poll_table,
  which has poll_table->_qproc pointing to ep_poll_callback(), to its
  wait_queue.
~ During the epoll_wait() call in step 3 and step 6,
  ring_buffer_poll_wait() cannot add ep_poll_callback() to its wait_queue
  because the poll_table->_qproc is NULL and it is how epoll works.
~ When there is new data available in step 6, ring_buffer does not know
  it has to call ep_poll_callback() because it is not in its wait queue.
  Hence, block forever.

Other poll implementation seems to call poll_wait() unconditionally as the very
first thing to do.  For example, tcp_poll() in tcp.c.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2: the poll implementation looks rather different
 but does have a conditional return before and after the poll_wait() call;
 delete the return before it.]
