xen/io/ring.h: new macro to detect whether there are too many requests on the ring
Backends may need to protect themselves against an insane number of produced requests stored by a frontend, in case they iterate over requests until reaching the req_prod value. There can't be more requests on the ring than the difference between produced requests and produced (but possibly not yet published) responses. This is a more strict alternative to a patch previously posted by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>.
