BlocksRingBuffer will be used both inside and outside ProfileBuffer:

  • Inside to serve as ProfileBuffer's main storage for stack traces,
  • Outside to allow marker storage even when ProfileBuffer is locked during
    stack sampling.

ProfileBuffer only exists while ActivePS is alive, but because of the
potential outside accesses above (due to small races between ProfileBuffer
shutdown, and thread-local IsBeingProfiled() flags), we cannot just do the same
for BlocksRingBuffer, and it must remain alive to gracefully deny these accesses
around the profiler startup and shutdown times.

To accomplish this, BlocksRingBuffer may be in different states.
This is done by enclosing the underlying ModuloBuffer and the entry deleter in
a Maybe, which may be Nothing when the profiler is not running.
