If you look closely, "pending" is the snapshot, regardless of the
growing prod.

 * With @until_empty == false (for EVTQ/PRIQ), exit once "drained" reaches its
 * target: "pending" (i.e. prod0 - cons0, frozen at the entry time):
 *
 *   cons0                cons                 prod0         (prod)
 *     |<---- drained ---->|                     |             |
 *  ---+###################+=====================+=============+--->
 *     |<--------------- pending --------------->|
