ring-buffer: Rename ring_buffer_read() to read_buffer_iter_advance()
[ Upstream commit bc1a72afdc4a91844928831cac85731566e03bc6 ] When the ring buffer was first created, the iterator followed the normal producer/consumer operations where it had both a peek() operation, that just returned the event at the current location, and a read(), that would return the event at the current location and also increment the iterator such that the next peek() or read() will return the next event. The only use of the ring_buffer_read() is currently to move the iterator to the next location and nothing now actually reads the event it returns. Rename this function to its actual use case to ring_buffer_iter_advance(), which also adds the "iter" part to the name, which is more meaningful. As the timestamp returned by ring_buffer_read() was never used, there's no reason that this new version should bother having returning it. It will also become a void function.
