Simon Schippers 43be21ec2e ptr_ring: move free-space check into separate helper
This patch moves the check for available free space for a new entry into
a separate function. Existing callers that only check for a non-zero
return value are unaffected. __ptr_ring_produce() now returns -EINVAL
for a zero-size ring and -ENOSPC when full, whereas before both cases
returned -ENOSPC. The new helper allows callers to determine in advance
whether a single subsequent __ptr_ring_produce() call will succeed. This
information can, for example, be used to temporarily stop producing until
__ptr_ring_check_produce() indicates that space is available again.

The return values are documented above the helper, as a caller that waits
for space must distinguish the transient -ENOSPC from the permanent
-EINVAL.
