It is not temporary I hope ;-). Just say "The value of
MAX_PER_SOCKET_BUDGET is set to 32."

Since this is not a cache, I would prefer a name like tx_budget_spent.
Reflects more what the purpose is of this variable. Do not forget to
change this in the commit message too.

Same comment here, it is not a cache. How about just budget_exhausted?
No need for the xsk_ since this is a local variable.

No need for the {} here since there is only a single line in the loop.
Please remove them.

This is not needed. The struct is zeroed at allocation.
