From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Add a way to refresh the current size of the loaded subbuffer of the
kbuffer. This is needed if the loaded subbuffer has a writer on it and it
needs to update for new events that have been written.
Note, no memory barriers are used here and that would be required by the
application.

The *kbuffer_subbuffer_size()* returns the location of the end of the last event
