ring-buffer: fix timestamp in partial ring_buffer_page_read
If a partial ring_buffer_page_read happens, then some of the incremental timestamps may be lost. This patch writes the recent timestamp into the page that is passed back to the caller. A partial ring_buffer_page_read is where the full page would not be written back to the user, and instead, just part of the page is copied to the user. A full page would be a page swap with the ring buffer and the timestamps would be correct. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
