Issuing a zero objects dequeue with a single consumer has no effect.
Doing so with multiple consumers, can get more than one thread to succeed
the compare-and-set operation and observe starvation or even deadlock in
the while loop that checks for preceding dequeues. The problematic piece
of code when n = 0:
cons_next = cons_head + n;
success = rte_atomic32_cmpset(&r->cons.head, cons_head, cons_next);
The same is possible on the enqueue path.
