ring-buffer: Update read stamp with first real commit on page
Do not update the read stamp after swapping out the reader page from the write buffer. If the reader page is swapped out of the buffer before an event is written to it, then the read_stamp may get an out of date timestamp, as the page timestamp is updated on the first commit to that page. rb_get_reader_page() only returns a page if it has an event on it, otherwise it will return NULL. At that point, check if the page being returned has events and has not been read yet. Then at that point update the read_stamp to match the time stamp of the reader page.
