Cleanup: lib_ring_buffer_switch_new_end() only calls subbuffer_set_data_size()

lib_ring_buffer_switch_new_end() is always called when an event exactly
fills a sub-buffer, which makes padding_size always 0. However, there is
one side-effect that lib_ring_buffer_switch_new_end() needs to have: it
calls subbuffer_set_data_size() to update the size of the data to be
read from the sub-buffer.
