Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] libbpf: remove explicit XSKMAP lookup from AF_XDP XDP program

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

In commit 43e74c0267a3 ("bpf_xdp_redirect_map: Perform map lookup in
eBPF helper") the bpf_redirect_map() helper learned to do map lookup,
which means that the explicit lookup in the XDP program for AF_XDP is
not needed.

This commit removes the map lookup, which simplifies the BPF code and
improves the performance for the "rx_drop" [1] scenario with ~4%.
