bpf, xdp: Maintain info on attached XDP BPF programs in net_device



Instead of delegating to drivers, maintain information about which BPF
programs are attached in which XDP modes (generic/skb, driver, or hardware)
locally in net_device. This effectively obsoletes XDP_QUERY_PROG command.

Such re-organization simplifies existing code already. But it also allows to
further add bpf_link-based XDP attachments without drivers having to know
about any of this at all, which seems like a good setup.
XDP_SETUP_PROG/XDP_SETUP_PROG_HW are just low-level commands to driver to
install/uninstall active BPF program. All the higher-level concerns about
prog/link interaction will be contained within generic driver-agnostic logic.

All the XDP_QUERY_PROG calls to driver in dev_xdp_uninstall() were removed.
It's not clear for me why dev_xdp_uninstall() were passing previous prog_flags
when resetting installed programs. That seems unnecessary, plus most drivers
don't populate prog_flags anyways. Having XDP_SETUP_PROG vs XDP_SETUP_PROG_HW
should be enough of an indicator of what is required of driver to correctly
reset active BPF program. dev_xdp_uninstall() is also generalized as an
iteration over all three supported mode.
