Cleanup: ring buffer: remove lib_ring_buffer_switch_new_end()

lib_ring_buffer_switch_new_end() is a leftover from the days where an
event that would exactly fill the current sub-buffer would automatically
trigger a sub-buffer switch into the next sub-buffer.

Even before the ring buffer code has been moved into lttng-modules, this
behavior had been changed: an event that exactly fills a sub-buffer only
fills this current sub-buffer, and does not need to switch into the
next one to populate the sub-buffer header. This change had been done so
periodical timer switch, which shares the same semantic as an event
exactly filling a sub-buffer, would not create tons of empty
sub-buffers.

However, when doing this change, lib_ring_buffer_switch_new_end() has
not been removed, but clearly should have been. Its job is now performed
by the event "commit".

lib_ring_buffer_switch_new_end() has no effect, since padding_size is
always 0.
