Subject: [PATCH v15 12/43] dept: record the latest one out of consecutive waits of the same class

The current code records all the waits for later use to track relation
between waits and events within each context.  However, since the same
class is handled the same way, it'd be okay to record only one on behalf
of the others if they all have the same class.

Even though it's the ideal to search the whole history buffer for that,
since it'd cost too high, alternatively, let's keep the latest one when
the same class'ed waits consecutively appear.
