Yes, I will add it if there is an update.

No, in ee75aef23afe ("bpf, xdp: Restructure redirect actions") this function
was removed. I added it back as we use ri->map again.

What devmap case you mean?

	 devmap_get_next_key() will loop to find the first one if there is no
	 key or dev. In normal time it will stop after the latest one.

And yes, there is an corner case that if we removed a dev during multicast,
there is an possibility that restart from the first key. But given that
this is an unlikely case, and in normal internet there is also a possibility
of duplicate/lost packet. This should also be acceptable?

For the loop limit, Daniel suggested to add it:

OK, I will do it if there is an respin.
