Sorry if I'm missing the point but I think this is insufficient.
You've covered the NAPI-like entry point to the Rx stack in your
initial work, but there's also netif_receive_skb() which drivers 
may call outside of NAPI, simply disabling BH before the call.

The only concern in that case is that we end up in do_xdp_generic(),
and there's no bpf_net_set_ctx() anywhere on the way. So my intuition
would be to add the bpf_net_set_ctx() inside the if(xdp_prog) in
do_xdp_generic(). "XDP generic" has less stringent (more TC-like) 
perf requirements, so setting context once per packet should be fine.
And it will also cover drivers like TUN which use both
netif_receive_skb() and call do_xdp_generic(), in a single place.
