ring-buffer: Always check to put back before stamp when crossing pages 

The current ring buffer logic checks to see if the updating of the event
buffer was interrupted, and if it is, it will try to fix up the before stamp
with the write stamp to make them equal again. This logic is flawed, because
if it is not interrupted, the two are guaranteed to be different, as the
current event just updated the before stamp before allocation. This
guarantees that the next event (this one or another interrupting one) will
think it interrupted the time updates of a previous event and inject an
absolute time stamp to compensate.

The correct logic is to always update the timestamps when traversing to a
new sub buffer.
