ring_buffer: Off-by-one and duplicate events in ring_buffer_read_page
Fix two related problems in the event-copying loop of ring_buffer_read_page. The loop condition for copying events is off-by-one. "len" is the remaining space in the caller-supplied page. "size" is the size of the next event (or two events). If len == size, then there is just enough space for the next event. size was set to rb_event_ts_length, which may include the size of two events if the first event is a time-extend, in order to assure time- extends are kept together with the event after it. However, rb_advance_reader always advances by one event. This would result in the event after any time-extend being duplicated. Instead, get the size of a single event for the memcpy, but use rb_event_ts_length for the loop condition.
