The patch looks correct and consistency is a nice thing, but I'm
wondering if we should instead remove the tracepoint from the UDP v4
code? We already have drop reason and MIBs to pin-point quite
accurately UDP drops, and the trace point does not cover a few UDPv4
spots (e.g. mcast). WDYT?

Thanks!
