So in case of generic XDP we return with -EBADRQC in xdp_do_generic_redirect_map().
I would suggest we adapt the same error code here as well, so it's consistent for
the tracepoint output and not to be confused with -EOPNOTSUPP from other locations
like dev_map_enqueue() when ndo_xdp_xmit is missing or such.
