ring-buffer: Force absolute timestamp on discard of event

ring-buffer: Force absolute timestamp on discard of event

[ Upstream commit b2dd797543cfa6580eac8408dd67fa02164d9e56 ]

There's a race where if an event is discarded from the ring buffer and an
interrupt were to happen at that time and insert an event, the time stamp
is still used from the discarded event as an offset. This can screw up the
timings.

If the event is going to be discarded, set the "before_stamp" to zero.
When a new event comes in, it compares the "before_stamp" with the
"write_stamp" and if they are not equal, it will insert an absolute
timestamp. This will prevent the timings from getting out of sync due to
the discarded event.
