The only interaction with ndo_xdp() right now is dev_change_xdp_fd()
and the currently a bit terse dump via rtnl_xdp_fill(). The latter
only tells whether something is actually attached and will have more
info in near future, but doesn't alter anything.

dev_change_xdp_fd() is only triggered from user side via netlink when
IFLA_XDP container attr is around, so no automatic cleanup here. This
means as per documentation in enum xdp_netdev_command, that the driver
has full ownership, thus needs to bpf_prog_put().
