ring-buffer: do not disable ring buffer on oops_in_progress 

The commit:

  commit e0fdace10e
  Author: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
  Date:   Fri Aug 1 01:11:22 2008 -0700

    debug_locks: set oops_in_progress if we will log messages.

    Otherwise lock debugging messages on runqueue locks can deadlock the
    system due to the wakeups performed by printk().

Will permanently set oops_in_progress on any lockdep failure.
When this triggers it will cause any read from the ring buffer to
permanently disable the ring buffer (not to mention no locking of
printk).

This patch removes the check. It keeps the print in NMI which makes
sense. This is probably OK, since the ring buffer should not cause
something to set oops_in_progress anyway.
