ring_buffer: compressed event header

RB_MAX_SMALL_DATA = 28bytes is too small for most tracers, it wastes
an 'u32' to save the actually length for events which data size > 28.

This fix uses compressed event header and enlarges RB_MAX_SMALL_DATA.

[ Impact: saves about 0%-12.5%(depends on tracer) memory in ring_buffer ]
