V1:
Updated the ring library with C11 memory model including the following changes
1) Synchronize the load and store of the tail to ensure the enqueue/dequeue
   operations are really completed before seen by the observers on the other
   sides.
2) Move the atomic load of head above the loop for the first iteration,it is
   not unnecessary and degrade performance for the other iteration as the head
   was loaded in the failure case of CAS.
