nit: the comment is slightly inaccurate as the program running in a
devmap/cpumap has nothing to do with tail calls. maybe replace it with:

"XDP programs inserted into maps are not guaranteed to run on a
particular netdev (and can run outside driver context entirely in the
case of devmap and cpumap). Until device checks are implemented,
prohibit adding dev-bound programs to program maps."

Also, there needs to be a check in bpf_prog_test_run_xdp() to reject
dev-bound programs there as well...
