Sorry if noob question, but what is the proper check for this? I tried
adding this to net_devmem_bind_dmabuf_to_queue():

if (xdp_rxq_info_is_reg(&rxq->xdp_rxq))
                 return -EEXIST;

But quickly found out that in  netif_alloc_rx_queues() we initialize
all the rxq->xdp_rxq to state REGISTERED regardless whether xdp is
installed or not, so this check actually fails.

Worthy of note is that GVE holds an instance of xdp_rxq_info in
gve_rx_ring, and seems to use that for its xdp information, not the
one that hangs off of netdev_rx_queue in core.

Additionally, my understanding of XDP is limited, but why do we want
to disable it? My understanding is that XDP is a kernel bypass that
hands the data directly to userspace. In theory at least there should
be no issue binding dmabuf to a queue, then getting the data in the
queue via an XDP program instead of via TCP sockets or io uring. Is
there some fundamental reason why dmabuf and XDP are incompatible?
