ring-buffer: Check for empty ring-buffer with rb_num_of_entries()

Currently there are two ways of identifying an empty ring-buffer. One
relying on the current status of the commit / reader page
(rb_per_cpu_empty()) and the other on the write and read counters
(rb_num_of_entries() used in rb_get_reader_page()).

with rb_num_of_entries(). This intends to ease later
introduction of ring-buffer writers which are out of the kernel control
and with whom, the only information available is through the meta-page
counters.
