The load-acquire is needed here as the data dependency is not a reliable way for ordering as the compiler might break it by saving to temporary values to boost performance. When computing the free_entries and avail_entries, use atomic semantics to load the heads and tails instead. The patch was benchmarked with test/ring_perf_autotest and it decreases the enqueue/dequeue latency by 5% ~ 27.6% with two lcores, the real gains are dependent on the number of lcores, depth of the ring, SPSC or MPMC. For 1 lcore, it also improves a little, about 3 ~ 4%. It is a big improvement, in case of MPMC, with two lcores and ring size of 32, it saves latency up to (3.26-2.36)/3.26 = 27.6%. This patch is a bug fix, while the improvement is a bonus. In our analysis the improvement comes from the cacheline pre-filling after hoisting load- acquire from _atomic_compare_exchange_n up above.
