Thanks for catching this. To explain myself here, I was getting rid of a
patch which removes the XDP prog presence check altogether because it is a
false positive - we can't get into these queue pair disabling/enabling
functions if there is no XDP prog on interface. And the reason why I was
tossing this out of patch set was that it was not -net candidate.

Thanks again and will fix on v3.
