[PATCH bpf-next 3/6] bpf: Retire tracepoint bpf_xdp_link_attach_failed

[Leon Hwang <leon.hwang@linux.dev>]

In the previous patch, it has a proper way to back-propagate the
underlying driver error message to user space via the BPF syscall common
attributes.

The tracepoint bpf_xdp_link_attach_failed seems redundant to report the
error message. And, the tracepoint doesn't report the ifindex alongside
the error message [1].

So, retire the tracepoint bpf_xdp_link_attach_failed and its selftest.

According to the tracepoint change discussion [2], please revert this
patch if users complain about the disappeared tracepoint
bpf_xdp_link_attach_failed in the future.
