ring-buffer: Wrap a list.next reference with rb_list_head()

This reference at the end of rb_get_reader_page() was causing off-by-one
writes to the prev pointer of the page after the reader page when that
page is the head page, and therefore the reader page has the RB_PAGE_HEAD
flag in its list.next pointer. This eventually results in a GPF in a
subsequent call to rb_set_head_page() (usually from rb_get_reader_page())
when that prev pointer is dereferenced. The dereferenced register would
characteristically have an address that appears shifted left by one byte
(eg, ffxxxxxxxxxxxxyy instead of ffffxxxxxxxxxxxx) due to being written at
an address one byte too high.
