Impact: Fix bug

I found several very very curious line.
It's so curious that it may be brought by typing mistake.

When (cpu_buffer->reader_page == cpu_buffer->commit_page):

1) We haven't copied it for bpage is changed:
   bpage = cpu_buffer->reader_page->page;
   memcpy(bpage->data, cpu_buffer->reader_page->page->data + read ... )
2) We need update cpu_buffer->reader_page->read, but
   "cpu_buffer->reader_page += read;" is not right.

[
  This bug was a typo. The commit->reader_page is a page pointer
  and not an index into the page. The line should have been
  commit->reader_page->read += read.  The other changes
  by Lai are nice clean ups to the code.  - SDR
