If a partial ring_buffer_page_read happens, then some of the
incremental timestamps may be lost. This patch writes the
recent timestamp into the page that is passed back to the caller.

A partial ring_buffer_page_read is where the full page would not
be written back to the user, and instead, just part of the page
is copied to the user. A full page would be a page swap with the
ring buffer and the timestamps would be correct.
