Well, I had a feeling that we don't utilize extack for a reason. Turns out
for XDP_SETUP_XSK_POOL we simply don't provide it.

struct netdev_bpf {
	enum bpf_netdev_command command;
	union {
		/* XDP_SETUP_PROG */
		struct {
			u32 flags;
			struct bpf_prog *prog;
			struct netlink_ext_ack *extack;
		};
		/* BPF_OFFLOAD_MAP_ALLOC, BPF_OFFLOAD_MAP_FREE */
		struct {
			struct bpf_offloaded_map *offmap;
		};
		/* XDP_SETUP_XSK_POOL */
		struct {
			struct xsk_buff_pool *pool;
			u16 queue_id;
		} xsk;
	};

I forgot about that :<
