net: ptr_ring: otherwise safe empty checks can overrun array bounds
When running consumer and/or producer operations and empty checks in parallel its possible to have the empty check run past the end of the array. The scenario occurs when an empty check is run while __ptr_ring_discard_one() is in progress. Specifically after the consumer_head is incremented but before (consumer_head >= ring_size) check is made and the consumer head is zeroe'd. To resolve this, without having to rework how consumer/producer ops work on the array, simply add an extra dummy slot to the end of the array. Even if we did a rework to avoid the extra slot it looks like the normal case checks would suffer some so best to just allocate an extra pointer.
