When a AF_XDP socket is attached, the virtnet_rx_resize
should resize the rq->xsk_buffs XSK buffer array. Otherwise,
when the size grows, the virtnet_rx_resume() causes a write
past the end of the array. This is easily reproducable with

     ethtool -G ens3 rx 32
     ./xdpsock -i eth0 -q 0 -r -z &
     ethtool -G eth0 rx 256

why do you cover only the case for growing buffer? Don't we expect to
free some memory in case of shrinking? Should be fine given you are
swapping buffers completely...
Isn't this common for "realloc[s]" to just return the same ptr, when
shrinking (to avoid extra actual allocations)?  But I do not have
any strong feelings about this, can switch to "shrink/grow", if this
looks better.
