[PATCH net-next v9 3/4] ptr_ring: move free-space check into separate helper

[Simon Schippers <simon.schippers@tu-dortmund.de>]

This patch moves the check for available free space for a new entry into
a separate function. As a result, __ptr_ring_produce() remains logically
unchanged, while the new helper allows callers to determine in advance
whether subsequent __ptr_ring_produce() calls will succeed. This
information can, for example, be used to temporarily stop producing until
__ptr_ring_peek() indicates that space is available again.
