xdp: Remove the xdp_attachment_flags_ok() callback



Since commit 7f0a8382 ("bpf, xdp: Maintain info on attached XDP BPF
programs in net_device"), the XDP program attachment info is now maintained
in the core code. This interacts badly with the xdp_attachment_flags_ok()
check that prevents unloading an XDP program with different load flags than
it was loaded with. In practice, two kinds of failures are seen:

- An XDP program loaded without specifying a mode (and which then ends up
  in driver mode) cannot be unloaded if the program mode is specified on
  unload.

- The dev_xdp_uninstall() hook always calls the driver callback with the
  mode set to the type of the program but an empty flags argument, which
  means the flags_ok() check prevents the program from being removed,
  leading to bpf prog reference leaks.

The original reason this check was added was to avoid ambiguity when
multiple programs were loaded. With the way the checks are done in the core
now, this is quite simple to enforce in the core code, so let's add a check
there and get rid of the xdp_attachment_flags_ok() callback entirely.
