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.
