Hi, Magnus.

The purpose of this patch is not to allow re-binding.  The use case is
following:

1. First process creates a bare socket with socket(AF_XDP, ...).
2. First process loads the XSK program to the interface.
3. First process adds the socket fd to a BPF map.
4. First process sends socket fd to a second process.
5. Second process allocates UMEM.
6. Second process binds socket to the interface.

The idea is that the first process will call SO_BINDTODEVICE before
sending socket fd to a second process, so the second process is limited
in to which interface it can bind the socket.

Does that make sense?

This workflow allows the second process to have no capabilities
as long as it has sufficient RLIMIT_MEMLOCK.

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
