XDP runs after decryption/decapsulation, in the netif_rx path, which
means there is no wireguard header at that point. All the wireguard
crypto/udp/header stuff is all inside the driver itself, and the rest
of the stack just deals in terms of plain vanilla L3 ipv4/ipv6
packets.

The skb->protocol metadata is handled by the fake ethernet header.

Is there other metadata I should keep in mind? WireGuard doesn't play
with skb_metadata_*, for example. (Though it may implicitly reach a
skb_metadata_clear via pskb_expand path.)
