ring-buffer: Add percentage of ring buffer full to wake up reader
Instead of just waiting for a page to be full before waking up a pending reader, allow the reader to pass in a "percentage" of pages that have content before waking up a reader. This should help keep the process of reading the events not cause wake ups that constantly cause reading of the buffer. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
