One of my systems didn't have the config XDP_SOCKETS enabled, and found
some issues:

This function is not defined when XDP_SOCKETS is disabled, got a
compilation error.

typo here: should be 'struct xsk_tx_metadata_compl'.

Just so you are aware of these (very) minor issues for the next version.

I enabled XDP_SOCKETS and will take a better look.
