I guess we should implement this for devmaps as well now that we allow
lookups into those.
However, in this particular example, the lookup from BPF is not actually
needed, since bpf_redirect_map() will return a configurable error value
when the map lookup fails (for exactly this use case).
So replacing:
if (bpf_map_lookup_elem(&xsks_map, &index))
return bpf_redirect_map(&xsks_map, index, 0);
with simply
return bpf_redirect_map(&xsks_map, index, XDP_PASS);
would save the call to xsk_map_lookup_elem().
