I consider if this should be a redir_err counter.

I'm on-the-fence with this one...
First of all the BPF-prog cannot see the return code of xdp_do_redirect.
So, it cannot give the correct/needed stats without this counter. It
would basically report the redirects as successful redirects. (This is
actually a re-occuring support issue, when end-users misconfigure
xdp_redirect sample and think they get good performance, even-though
packets are dropped).
Specifically for XDP_REDIRECT we need to update some state anyhow, such
that we know to call xdp_do_flush_map(). Thus removing the counter
would not gain much performance wise.
