optional nit: maybe do xskq_prod_write_addr(, idx+i, ) instead of 'idx++'
in the loop? I got a bit confused here until I spotted that idx++..
But up to you, feel free to ignore, maybe it's just me.

Seems to be unrelated, can probably drop if you happen to respin?

Should we move this up to happen before sk_add_node_rcu? Otherwise we
also have to do sk_del_node_init_rcu on !xs->xsk_addrs_cache here?

Btw, alternatively, why not make this happen at bind time when we know
whether the socket is gonna be copy or zc? And do it only for the copy
mode?
