bpf: make error reporting in bpf_warn_invalid_xdp_action more clear
Differ between illegal XDP action code and just driver unsupported one to provide better feedback when we throw a one-time warning here. Reason is that with 814abfabef3c ("xdp: add bpf_redirect helper function") not all drivers support the new XDP return code yet and thus they will fall into their 'default' case when checking for return codes after program return, which then triggers a bpf_warn_invalid_xdp_action() stating that the return code is illegal, but from XDP perspective it's not. I decided not to place something like a XDP_ACT_MAX define into uapi i) given we don't have this either for all other program types, ii) future action codes could have further encoding there, which would render such define unsuitable and we wouldn't be able to rip it out again, and iii) we rarely add new action codes.
