ring-buffer: Put back the length if crossed page with add_timestamp
Commit fcc742eaad7c "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.
