[PATCH v3] lib/ring: do not allow zero size ring

this might happen when for instance the ring size is read from
config, and would cause runtime crash. Do so by using the
RTE_IS_POWER_OF_2 macro.

v3:
* changed to use the RTE_IS_POWER_OF_2 macro.

v2:
* move the fix to the POWEROF2 macro itself.
* fixed style in the test code.
