Sure, but RING_PUSH_REQUESTS() will copy req_prod_pvt to req_prod. In
the case corrected this would advance req_prod by two after the error
case before, even if only one request would have made it to the ring.

As an alternative I could have decremented req_prod_pvt in case of an
error, but I like my current solution better.
