oprofile: add op_cpu_buffer_write_reserve()
This function prepares the cpu buffer to write a sample. Struct op_entry is used during operations on the ring buffer while struct op_sample contains the data that is stored in the ring buffer. Struct entry can be uninitialized. The function reserves a data array that is specified by size. Use op_cpu_buffer_write_commit() after preparing the sample. In case of errors a null pointer is returned, otherwise the pointer to the sample. Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
