ring-buffer: replace sizeof of event header with offsetof
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. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
