Revert "xdp: add NULL pointer check in __xdp_return()"
This reverts commit 36e0f12b. The reverted commit adds a WARN to check against NULL entries in the mem_id_ht rhashtable. Any kernel path implementing the XDP (generic or driver) fast path is required to make a paired xdp_rxq_info_reg/xdp_rxq_info_unreg call for proper function. In addition, a driver using a different allocation scheme than the default MEM_TYPE_PAGE_SHARED is required to additionally call xdp_rxq_info_reg_mem_model. For MEM_TYPE_ZERO_COPY, an xdp_rxq_info_reg_mem_model call ensures that the mem_id_ht rhashtable has a properly inserted allocator id. If not, this would be a driver bug. A NULL pointer kernel OOPS is preferred to the WARN.
