I would expect that to be terrible for performance; I think it would be
better to just add back the map pointer into struct bpf_redirect_info.
If you only set the map pointer when the multicast flag is set, you can
just check that pointer to disambiguate between when you need to call
dev_map_enqueue() and dev_map_enqueue_multi(), in which case you don't
need to add back the flags member...
