[PATCH] relayfs: add support for global relay buffers

This patch adds the optional is_global outparam to the create_buf_file()
callback.  This can be used by clients to create a single global relayfs
buffer instead of the default per-cpu buffers.  This was suggested as being
useful for certain debugging applications where it's more convenient to be
able to get all the data from a single channel without having to go to the
bother of dealing with per-cpu files.
