Other concurrent running programs, like perf or the XDP program what
needed to be monitored, might take up part of the max locked memory
limit. Thus, the xdp_monitor tool have to set the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK to
RLIM_INFINITY, as it cannot determine a more sane limit.
Using the man exit(3) specified EXIT_FAILURE return exit code, and
correct other users too.

Also monitor the tracepoint xdp_exception. This tracepoint is usually
invoked by the drivers. Programs themselves can activate this by
returning XDP_ABORTED, which will drop the packet but also trigger the
tracepoint. This is useful for distinguishing intentional (XDP_DROP)
vs. ebpf-program error cases that cased a drop (XDP_ABORTED).
Drivers also use this tracepoint for reporting on XDP actions that are
unknown to the specific driver. This can help the user to detect if a
driver e.g. doesn't implement XDP_REDIRECT yet.

This tool xdp_monitor demonstrate how to use the different xdp_redirect
tracepoints xdp_redirect{,_map}{,_err} from a BPF program.
The default mode is to only monitor the error counters, to avoid
affecting the per packet performance. Tracepoints comes with a base
overhead of 25 nanosec for an attached bpf_prog, and 48 nanosec for
using a full perf record (with non-matching filter). Thus, default
loading the --stats mode could affect the maximum performance.
This version of the tool is very simple and count all types of errors
as one. It will be natural to extend this later with the different
types of errors that can occur, which should help users quickly
identify common mistakes.
Because the TP_STRUCT was kept in sync all the tracepoints loads the
same BPF code. It would also be natural to extend the map version to
demonstrate how the map information could be used.
