Steven Rostedt (VMware) 8f0901cda1 tracing: Add better comments for the filtering temp buffer use case
When filtering is enabled, the event is copied into a temp buffer instead
of being written into the ring buffer directly, because the discarding of
events from the ring buffer is very expensive, and doing the extra copy is
much faster than having to discard most of the time.

As that logic is subtle, add comments to explain in more detail to what is
going on and how it works.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
