[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4] doc: announce ring API change

[Gage Eads <gage.eads@intel.com>]

In order to support the non-blocking ring[1], an API change (additional
argument to rte_ring_get_memsize()) is required in librte_ring. This commit
updates the deprecation notice to pave the way for its inclusion in
19.08.
