Merge branch 'xdp: hints via kfuncs'

Stanislav Fomichev says:

====================

Please see the first patch in the series for the overall
design and use-cases.

See the following email from Toke for the per-packet metadata overhead:
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/[email protected]/T/#m49d48ea08d525ec88360c7d14c4d34fb0e45e798

Recent changes:
- Keep new functions in en/xdp.c, do 'extern mlx5_xdp_metadata_ops' (Tariq)

- Remove mxbuf pointer and use xsk_buff_to_mxbuf (Tariq)

- Clarify xdp_buff vs 'XDP frame' (Jesper)

- Explicitly mention that AF_XDP RX descriptor lacks metadata size (Jesper)

- Drop libbpf_flags/xdp_flags from selftests and use ifindex instead
  of ifname (due to recent xsk.h refactoring)

Prior art (to record pros/cons for different approaches):

- Stable UAPI approach:

- Metadata+BTF_ID appoach:
