ring-buffer: try to discard unneeded timestamps 

There are times that a race may happen that we add a timestamp in a
nested write. This timestamp would just contain a zero delta and serves
no purpose.

Now that we have a way to discard events, this patch will try to discard
the timestamp instead of just wasting the space in the ring buffer.
