I don't think this change is correct. The old code checked the number of 
free items against prod_tail (== producer). The new code changes it to 
prod_head (which is now cached_prod). xskq_nb_free is used in xsk_poll 
to set EPOLLIN. After this change EPOLLIN will be set right after 
xskq_produce_batch_desc, but it should only be set after 
xskq_produce_flush_desc, just as before, otherwise the application will 
wake up before the data is available, and it will just waste CPU cycles.
