Subject: [PATCH bpf] xsk: relax UMEM headroom alignment

From: Björn Töpel <bjorn.topel@...el.com>

This patch removes the 64B alignment of the UMEM headroom. There is
really no reason for it, and having a headroom less than 64B should be
valid.

Fixes: c0c77d8fb787 ("xsk: add user memory registration support sockopt")
