Whilst cleaning up the dtrace probe documentation, I realized that
there is nothing the aforementioned probes tell you that you can't find
out (with a lot more data besides) from the final argument of the
BUFFER_READ_DONE probe.  Furthermore, tallying them as-is would be
misleading since you couldn't distinguish true reads from relation
extension requests.  I think we should just remove them.
