Subject[for-next][PATCH 1/5] ring-buffer: Process commits whenever moving to a new page.
From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

When crossing over to a new page, commit the current work. This will allow
readers to get data with less latency, and also simplifies the work to get
timestamps working for interrupted events.
