Fix a possible hang in xdpsock that can occur when using multiple
threads. In this case, one or more of the threads might get stuck in
the while-loop in tx_only after the user has signaled the main thread
to stop execution. In this case, no more Tx packets will be sent, so a
thread might get stuck in the aforementioned while-loop. Fix this by
introducing a test inside the while-loop to check if the benchmark has
been terminated. If so, exit the loop.

With the patch applied, I'm getting a new warning:

  CC  /home/darkstar/trees/bpf-next/samples/bpf/xdpsock_user.o
/home/darkstar/trees/bpf-next/samples/bpf/xdpsock_user.c: In function ‘main’:

 1272 |  u32 idx;
      |      ^~~

Previously compiling w/o issues:

  LD  /home/darkstar/trees/bpf-next/samples/bpf/fds_example

For testing, I used:

  gcc --version
  gcc (GCC) 9.0.1 20190312 (Red Hat 9.0.1-0.10)

Ptal, thx!
