Fixed the logic in tracecmd_read_page_record() when
searching for the next event in the event from the
ring buffer. In the current logic, in the case when
last_record is not NULL (we are searching for the second one)
the check "if (ptr != last_record->data)" always fails.

Nice catch.

Let's change the change log and subject:

Subject trace-cmd: Fix tracecmd_read_page_record() to read more than one event

 The kbuffer_next_event() will return the next event on the sub buffer.
 If we pass in the last_record to tracecmd_read_page_record(), it
 initializes the sub buffer, and by calling kbuffer_next_event()
 (instead of kbuffer_read_event()), the second event on the sub buffer
 is returned. This causes the match of the last_record not to match if
 the last_record happens to be the first event on the sub buffer.

Also, instead of the above "} else" clause, we can just move the

	ptr = kbuffer_read_event(kbuf, &ts);

before the if condition testing last_record.
