ring-buffer: Set the right timestamp in the slow path of __rb_reserve_next()
In the slow path of __rb_reserve_next() a nested event(s) can happen between evaluating the timestamp delta of the current event and updating write_stamp via local_cmpxchg(); in this case the delta is not valid anymore and it should be set to 0 (same timestamp as the interrupting event), since the event that we are currently processing is not the last event in the buffer.
