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.

And Christoph even mentioned that it can be further compacted to
just a single line:

  __this_cpu_and(current_context, __this_cpu_read(current_context) - 1);
