[PATCH] tracing: Update entries counter when removing pages

From: Vaibhav Nagarnaik
Date: Mon Jun 18 2012 - 15:12:12 EST


When removing pages from the ring buffer, its state is not reset. This
means that the counters need to be correctly updated to account for the
pages removed.

Update the entries counter to reflect the removed events from the
pages just like entries_bytes counter.
