ring-buffer: Remove duplicate use of '&' in recursive code

A clean up of the recursive protection code changed

val = this_cpu_read(current_context);
val--;
val &= this_cpu_read(current_context);

to

val = this_cpu_read(current_context);
val &= val & (val - 1);

Which has a duplicate use of '&' as the above is the same as

val = val & (val - 1);

Actually, it would be best to remove that line altogether and
just add it to where it is used.
