you are introducing a new compilation warning, please fix it


/data/users/andriin/linux/samples/bpf/xdp_rxq_info_user.c: In function
‘options2str’:
/data/users/andriin/linux/samples/bpf/xdp_rxq_info_user.c:153:1:
warning: control reaches end of non-void function [-Wreturn-type]
  153 | }
      | ^

It also would be good to instead use bpf_link-based XDP attachment
that would be auto-detached automatically on process crash
(bpf_link_create() FTW). Please consider also converting this sample
to skeleton (and then bpf_program__attach_xdp() as high-level
alternative to bpf_link_create()).
