[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] ring: fix error return value when creating ring

[Yunjian Wang]

The error value returned by rte_ring_create_elem() should be positive
integers. However, if the rte_ring_get_memsize_elem() function fails,
a negative number is returned and is directly used as the return value.
As a result, this will cause the external call to check the return
value to fail(like called by rte_mempool_create()).
