That I get it.

What I meant is that the test enqueues an object in a ring until it is
full [1], then dequeues all the ring [2].
1: https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/tree/app/test/test_ring.c#n814
2: https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/tree/app/test/test_ring.c#n825

If the test had checked that dequeued objects are the right one, we
would have caught it.

But on the other hand, maybe another part of the functionnal ring
tests already check this and we only need to fix this issue here.
