events: Ensure that timers are updated without requiring read() call
The event tracing infrastructure exposes two timers which should be updated each time the value of the counter is updated. Currently, these counters are only updated when userspace calls read() on the fd associated with an event. This means that counters which are read via the mmap'd page exclusively never have their timers updated. This patch adds ensures that the timers are updated each time the values in the mmap'd page are updated.
