[PATCH v4 2/9] ring-buffer: Hold cpu_buffer::lock when resizing a subbuf

Because, ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() can clear cpu_buffer->free_page,
hold cpu_buffer->lock to prevent races with
ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() and ring_buffer_free_read_page().
Fixes: 8e7b58c27b3c ("ring-buffer: Just update the subbuffers when changing their allocation order")
