In a previous commit 7433632c9ff6, buffer, buffer->buffers and 
buffer->buffers[cpu] in ring_buffer_wake_waiters() can be NULL, 
and thus the related checks are added.

However, in the same call stack, these variables are also used in
ring_buffer_free_read_page():

tracing_buffers_release()
  ring_buffer_wake_waiters(iter->array_buffer->buffer)
    cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu] -> Add checks by previous commit
  ring_buffer_free_read_page(iter->array_buffer->buffer)
    cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu] -> No check

Thus, to avod possible null-pointer derefernces, the related checks
should be added.

These results are reported by a static tool designed by myself.

Although I'm not adverse to this patch (it doesn't hurt), but the code has:

	ring_buffer_wake_waiters(iter->array_buffer->buffer, iter->cpu_file);

	if (info->spare)
		ring_buffer_free_read_page(iter->array_buffer->buffer,
					   info->spare_cpu, info->spare);

Where none of those will be NULL if "info->spare" is set.

But as I said, I have no problem applying this, so I will ;-)
