[PATCH 3/5] ring-buffer: replace sizeof of event header with offsetof

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@xxxxxxxxxx>

Impact: fix to possible alignment problems on some archs.

Some arch compilers include an NULL char array in the sizeof field.
Since the ring_buffer_event type includes one of these, it is better
to use the "offsetof" instead, to avoid strange bugs on these archs.
