[Thomas Monjalon]

> For improved performance over the current C11 based ring implementation
> following changes were made.
> (1) Replace tail store with RELEASE semantics in __rte_ring_update_tail
> with a RELEASE fence. Replace load of the tail with ACQUIRE semantics 
> in __rte_ring_move_prod_head and __rte_ring_move_cons_head with ACQUIRE
> fences.
> (2) Remove ACQUIRE fences between load of the old_head and load of the
> cons_tail in __rte_ring_move_prod_head and __rte_ring_move_cons_head.
> These two fences are not required for the safety of the ring library.
