[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 4/5] lib/stack: reload head when pop fails

[Steven Lariau <steven.lariau@arm.com>]

List head must be loaded right before continue (when failed to
find the new head).
Without this, one thread might keep trying and failing to pop items
without ever loading the new correct head.
