ring-buffer: Fix advance of reader in rb_buffer_peek()

When calling rb_buffer_peek() from ring_buffer_consume() and a
padding event is returned, the function rb_advance_reader() is
called twice. This may lead to missing samples or under high
workloads to the warning below. This patch fixes this. If a padding
event is returned by rb_buffer_peek() it will be consumed by the
calling function now.

Also, I simplified some code in ring_buffer_consume().
