Subject: [PATCH net 05/10] net: xdp: don't allow device-bound programs in driver mode

Currently device-bound programs are not able to run on the host
to save resources (host JIT is not invoked).  Don't allow XDP
programs to be attached without the HW_MODE flag.  In theory
if program is already translated for device offload the driver
should choose to offload it instead of loading it in the driver.
However, offloading translated program may still fail resulting
in device-bound program being run on the host.

Prevent this by refusing to attach device bound programs if
XDP_FLAGS_HW_MODE is not set.
