ring-buffer: remove ring_buffer_event_discard
The function ring_buffer_event_discard can be used on any item in the ring buffer, even after the item was committed. This function provides no safety nets and is very race prone. An item may be safely removed from the ring buffer before it is committed with the ring_buffer_discard_commit. Since there are currently no users of this function, and because this function is racey and error prone, this patch removes it altogether. Note, removing this function also allows the counters to ignore all discarded events (patches will follow). Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
