ring-buffer: Stop remote reader update when page swap fails

The remote swap_reader_page callback can return -EBUSY when the writer
moves the head before the remote catches it, particularly during an event
storm on a small buffer. __rb_get_reader_page_from_remote() currently
warns about that failure but continues with the unchanged reader ID and
rearranges the local page list as though the swap succeeded.

Handle the callback failure as a recoverable error. Report it with
pr_warn_ratelimited() and return NULL. Callers already handle a NULL reader
page as a failed attempt. This avoids splicing the same page as both the
previous and new reader without flooding the log under contention.
