ring-buffer: Set new size of the ring buffer sub page

There are two approaches when changing the size of the ring buffer
sub page:
 1. Destroying all pages and allocating new pages with the new size.
 2. Allocating new pages, copying the content of the old pages before
    destroying them.
The first approach is easier, it is selected in the proposed
implementation. Changing the ring buffer sub page size is supposed to
not happen frequently. Usually, that size should be set only once,
when the buffer is not in use yet and is supposed to be empty.
