Revert: "ring-buffer: Do not have boot mapped buffers hook to CPU hotplug"

Browse Source 
A crash happened when testing cpu hotplug with respect to the memory
mapped ring buffers. It was assumed that the hot plug code was adding a
per CPU buffer that was already created that caused the crash. The real
problem was due to ref counting and was fixed by commit 2cf9733891
("ring-buffer: Fix refcount setting of boot mapped buffers").

When a per CPU buffer is created, it will not be created again even with
CPU hotplug, so the fix to not use CPU hotplug was a red herring. In fact,
it caused only the boot CPU buffer to be created, leaving the other CPU
per CPU buffers disabled.

Revert that change as it was not the culprit of the fix it was intended to
be.
