[PATCH 7/9] tools lib traceevent kbuffer: Remove extra update to data pointer in PADDING

[Steven Rostedt]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

When a event PADDING is hit (a deleted event that is still in the ring
buffer), translate_data() sets the length of the padding and also updates
the data pointer which is passed back to the caller. This is unneeded
because the caller also updates the data pointer with the passed back
length. translate_data() should not update the pointer, only set the
length.
