Steven Rostedt (Google) 2f84b39f48 tracing: Update subbuffer with kilobytes not page order
Using page order for deciding what the size of the ring buffer sub buffers
are is exposing a bit too much of the implementation. Although the sub
buffers are only allocated in orders of pages, allow the user to specify
the minimum size of each sub-buffer via kilobytes like they can with the
buffer size itself.

If the user specifies 3 via:

  echo 3 > buffer_subbuf_size_kb

Then the sub-buffer size will round up to 4kb (on a 4kb page size system).

If they specify:

  echo 6 > buffer_subbuf_size_kb

The sub-buffer size will become 8kb.

and so on.
