Commit f600b6905015 ("virtio_net: Add XDP support") leaves the case of
small receive buffer untouched. This will confuse the user who want to
set XDP but use small buffers. Other than forbid XDP in small buffer
mode, let's make it work. XDP then can only work at skb->data since
virtio-net create skbs during refill, this is sub optimal which could
be optimized in the future.

Hi Jason,

I was doing some more testing on this what do you think about doing this
so that free_unused_bufs() handles the buffer free with dev_kfree_skb()
instead of put_page in small receive mode. Seems more correct to me.

patch is untested just spotted doing code review.

Thanks,
