Having Rx-only AF_XDP sockets can potentially lead to a crash in the
system by a NULL pointer dereference in xsk_umem_consume_tx(). This
function iterates through a list of all sockets tied to a umem and
checks if there are any packets to send on the Tx ring. Rx-only
sockets do not have a Tx ring, so this will cause a NULL pointer
dereference. This will happen if you have registered one or more
Rx-only sockets to a umem and the driver is checking the Tx ring even
on Rx, or if the XDP_SHARED_UMEM mode is used and there is a mix of
Rx-only and other sockets tied to the same umem.
Fixed by only putting sockets with a Tx component on the list that
xsk_umem_consume_tx() iterates over.
