This lifts the restriction on running devmap BPF progs in generic redirect mode. To match native XDP behavior, it is invoked right before generic_xdp_tx is called, and only supports XDP_PASS/XDP_ABORTED/ XDP_DROP actions. We also return 0 even if devmap program drops the packet, as semantically redirect has already succeeded and the devmap prog is the last point before TX of the packet to device where it can deliver a verdict on the packet. This also means it must take care of freeing the skb, as xdp_do_generic_redirect callers only do that in case an error is returned. Since devmap entry prog is supported, remove the check in generic_xdp_install entirely.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
