nr_subbufs in the ring buffer metadata is always initialized to zero
because it is assigned from cpu_buffer->nr_pages before the page
initialization loop has run. While nr_subbufs is not currently read
by the kernel, it should reflect the actual buffer geometry in the
meta page for correctness.
Move the assignment after the page loop so that cpu_buffer->nr_pages
holds the final count.
