Fixed the logic in tracecmd_read_page_record() when
searching for the next event in the event from the
ring buffer.

Please explain what you are fixing. In other words, what was wrong with
the current logic?

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. As I can
understand, kbuffer_next_event() reads the event
after the one pointed by last_record. In my use case I search for a
series of few events,
tracecmd_read_page_record() returns the first one (when I pass
last_record=NULL), and always fails on
the second one with the error "tracecmd_read_page_record: could not
find last_record". I use a gdb to figure out
what happens there.
