Field 'flags' of struct rte_ring is defined as int type. However,
it is used as unsigned int. To ensure consistency, change the
type of flags to unsigned int. Since these two types has the
same byte size, this change is not an ABI change.

This triggers a warning in our ABI checker:

I guess we were supposed to merge this in 23.11, sorry about this.
How can we proceed?
How about we drop this amendment (patch 1/3) for now?
