Here, the bind syscall is added. Binding an AF_XDP socket, means
associating the socket to an umem, a netdev and a queue index. This
can be done in two ways.
The first way, creating a "socket from scratch". Create the umem using
the XDP_UMEM_REG setsockopt and an associated fill queue with
XDP_UMEM_FILL_QUEUE. Create the Rx queue using the XDP_RX_QUEUE
setsockopt. Call bind passing ifindex and queue index ("channel" in
ethtool speak).
The second way to bind a socket, is simply skipping the
umem/netdev/queue index, and passing another already setup AF_XDP
socket. The new socket will then have the same umem/netdev/queue index
as the parent so it will share the same umem. You must also set the
flags field in the socket address to XDP_SHARED_UMEM.
v2: Use PTR_ERR instead of passing error variable explicitly.

Another setsockopt (XDP_RX_QUEUE) is added to let the process allocate
a queue, where the kernel can pass completed Rx frames from the kernel
to user process.
The mmapping of the queue is done using the XDP_PGOFF_RX_QUEUE offset.

Here, we add another setsockopt for registered user memory (umem)
called XDP_UMEM_FILL_QUEUE. Using this socket option, the process can
ask the kernel to allocate a queue (ring buffer) and also mmap it
(XDP_UMEM_PGOFF_FILL_QUEUE) into the process.
The queue is used to explicitly pass ownership of umem frames from the
user process to the kernel. These frames will in a later patch be
filled in with Rx packet data by the kernel.
v2: Fixed potential crash in xsk_mmap.
