The existing helper k3_ringacc_ring_get_free() updates the count of free
elements only when the software maintained counter decrements to zero.
As a result, for batch processing, we may read a lower count of free
elements than the actual count. To address this, introduce a new helper
that provides realtime count of free elements.
