Running humility ringbuf against a hubris that contains a disabled ringbuf results in the ringbuf dump stopping on the disabled ringbuf.

Cargo.toml:
...
[dependencies]
...
ringbuf = {path = "../../lib/ringbuf", features = ["disabled"]}
#ringbuf = {path = "../../lib/ringbuf"}
...

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with humility ringbuf against a Hubris configuration using the ringbuf disabled feature shown in Cargo.toml. Trace the ringbuf command's handling of that configuration; done means the dump continues past a disabled ringbuf instead of stopping there.
