    io/ring.h: new macro to detect whether there are too many requests on the 
ring
    
    Backends may need to protect themselves against an insane number of
    produced requests stored by a frontend, in case they iterate over
    requests until reaching the req_prod value. There can't be more
    requests on the ring than the difference between produced requests
    and produced (but possibly not yet published) responses.
    
    This is a more strict alternative to a patch previously posted by
    Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@xxxxxxxxxx>.
