Subject: [PATCH] ring-buffer: Have rb_time_cmpxchg() set the msb counter too

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

The rb_time_cmpxchg() on 32-bit architectures requires setting three
32-bit words to represent the 64-bit timestamp, with some salt for
synchronization. Those are: msb, top, and bottom

The issue is, the rb_time_cmpxchg() did not properly salt the msb portion,
and the msb that was written was stale.

Fixes: f03f2abce4f39 ("ring-buffer: Have 32 bit time stamps use all 64 bits")
