Merge branch 'xdp-more-work-on-xdp-tracepoints'

Jesper Dangaard Brouer says:

====================
xdp: more work on xdp tracepoints

More work on streamlining and performance optimizing the tracepoints
for XDP.

I've created a simple xdp_monitor application that uses this
tracepoint, and prints statistics. Available at github:

https://github.com/netoptimizer/prototype-kernel/blob/master/kernel/samples/bpf/xdp_monitor_kern.c
https://github.com/netoptimizer/prototype-kernel/blob/master/kernel/samples/bpf/xdp_monitor_user.c

The improvement over tracepoint with strcpy: 9810372 - 8428762 = +1381610 pps faster
 - (1/9810372 - 1/8428762)*10^9 = -16.7 nanosec
 - 100-(8428762/9810372*100) = strcpy-trace is 14.08% slower
 - 981037/8428762*100 = removing strcpy made it 11.64% faster

V3: Fix merge conflict with commit e4a8e817d3cb ("bpf: misc xdp redirect cleanups")
V2: Change trace_xdp_redirect() to align with args of trace_xdp_exception()
