Subject: [PATCH v2] ring-buffer: Add offset of events in dump on mismatch

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@...dmis.org>

On bugs that have the ring buffer timestamp get out of sync, the config
CONFIG_RING_BUFFER_VALIDATE_TIME_DELTAS, that checks for it and if it is
detected it causes a dump of the bad sub buffer.

It shows each event and their timestamp as well as the delta in the event.
But it's also good to see the offset into the subbuffer for that event to
know if how close to the end it is.

- Add "0x" before the "%x" to make the print less confusing (Mathieu Desnoyers)
