Keeping the bpf_net_ctx_set()/clear, removing the NULL checks (to align
with Alexei in his last email).
Perf numbers wise, I'm using
	xdp-bench redirect-cpu --cpu 3 --remote-action drop eth1 -e

I think this is noise. perf output as suggested (perf report --sort
cpu,symbol --no-children).

I'm going to repost the series once the merge window closes unless there
is something you want me to do.
