[PATCH v3 3/3] sfc: add logs explaining XDP_TX/REDIRECT is not available

From: Íñigo Huguet <hidden>
Date: 2021-07-13 14:22:13
Subsystem: networking drivers, sfc network driver, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Edward Cree, Linus Torvalds

If it's not possible to allocate enough channels for XDP, XDP_TX and
XDP_REDIRECT don't work. However, only a message saying that not enough
channels were available was shown, but not saying what are the
consequences in that case. The user didn't know if he/she can use XDP
or not, if the performance is reduced, or what.
