Hey, I'm not buying it. task_struct::hist_id and task_struct::xhlock_idx
are increased at the same place(in add_xhlock()), right?

And, yes, xhlock_idx will get decreased when we do ring-buffer
unwinding, but that's OK, because we need to throw away those recently
added items.

And xhlock_idx always points to the most recently added valid item,
right?  Any other item's idx must "before()" the most recently added
one's, right? So ::xhlock_idx acts just like a timestamp, doesn't it?

Maybe I'm missing something subtle, but could you show me an example,
that could end up being a problem if we use xhlock_idx as the hist_id?

Besides, is this code correct? Does this just make xhlock->hist_id
one-less-than the curr->hist_id, which cause the invalidation every time
you do ring buffer unwinding?
