Yeah, sorry, I tried to add a minimal test to the existing one, but I
agree that it not very meaningful.

I already have a better dedicated test case for this
(https://github.com/arighi/ebpf-maps/blob/libbpf-consume-n/src/main.c#L118),
I just need to integrate it in the kselftest properly (and maybe
pre-generate more than N records in the ring buffer, so that we can
better test if the limit works as expected).

I'll send another patch to add a proper test case.

Thanks for applying the other patches!
