Remove the part that checks if there is enough room in the stack, it's
always true as long as size of stack >= MAX_BULK*rte_lcore_count().
This check used an atomic cmpset, and read / write to a shared size
variable. These operations result in some form of synchronization
that might get in the way of the actual stack testing.
