    ring-buffer: Put back the length if crossed page with add_timestamp · bd1b7cd3

    Commit fcc742ea "ring-buffer: Add event descriptor to simplify passing
    data" added a descriptor that holds various data instead of passing around
    several variables through parameters. The problem was that one of the
    parameters was modified in a function and the code was designed not to have
    an effect on that modified  parameter. Now that the parameter is a
    descriptor and any modifications to it are non-volatile, the size of the
    data could be unnecessarily expanded.
    
    Remove the extra space added if a timestamp was added and the event went
    across the page.
