[RFC][PATCH 10/11] ring-buffer/tracing: Have iterator acknowledge dropped events

[Steven Rostedt]

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

Have the ring_buffer_iterator set a flag if events were dropped as it were
to go and peek at the next event. Have the trace file display this fact if
it happened with a "LOST EVENTS" message.
