ring-buffer: Fix bytes info in per_cpu buffer stats

The 'bytes' info in file 'per_cpu/cpu<X>/stats' means the number of
bytes in cpu buffer that have not been consumed. However, currently
after consuming data by reading file 'trace_pipe', the 'bytes' info
was not changed as expected.

  # cat per_cpu/cpu0/stats
  entries: 0
  overrun: 0
  commit overrun: 0
  bytes: 568             <--- 'bytes' is problematical !!!
  oldest event ts:  8651.371479
  now ts:  8653.912224
  dropped events: 0
  read events: 8

The root cause is incorrect stat on cpu_buffer->read_bytes. To fix it:
  1. When stat 'read_bytes', account consumed event in rb_advance_reader();
  2. When stat 'entries_bytes', exclude the discarded padding event which
     is smaller than minimum size because it is invisible to reader. Then
     use rb_page_commit() instead of BUF_PAGE_SIZE at where accounting for
     page-based read/remove/overrun.

Also correct the comments of ring_buffer_bytes_cpu() in this patch.
