In __rte_ring_move_prod_head, move the __atomic_load_n up and out of
the do {} while loop as upon failure the old_head will be updated,
another load is costly and not necessary.

This helps a little on the latency,about 1~5%.

 Test result with the patch(two cores):
 SP/SC bulk enq/dequeue (size: 8): 5.64
 MP/MC bulk enq/dequeue (size: 8): 9.58
 SP/SC bulk enq/dequeue (size: 32): 1.98
 MP/MC bulk enq/dequeue (size: 32): 2.30
