It seems that a qid that exceeds curr_queue_pairs would previously get
-EINVAL and now gets -ENOENT. Maybe reorder the checks:

        if (qid >= vi->curr_queue_pairs)
                return -EINVAL;

        /* In big_packets mode, xdp cannot work, so there is no need to
         * initialize xsk of rq.
         */ 
       if (!vi->rq[qid].page_pool)
               return -ENOENT;


Alternatively I think we can completely drop this chunk: we already seem
to init page_pull at all times except for big packets mode, so the
current code is fine I think.
