When driver doesn't implement a bpf_xdp_metadata kfunc the fallback
implementation returns EOPNOTSUPP, which indicate device driver doesn't
implement this kfunc.
Currently many drivers also return EOPNOTSUPP when the hint isn't
available, which is ambiguous from an API point of view. Instead
change drivers to return ENODATA in these cases.
There can be natural cases why a driver doesn't provide any hardware
info for a specific hint, even on a frame to frame basis (e.g. PTP).
Lets keep these cases as separate return codes.
When describing the return values, adjust the function kernel-doc layout
to get proper rendering for the return values.

An XDP program can use these kfuncs to read the metadata into stack
variables for its own consumption. Or, to pass the metadata on to other
consumers, an XDP program can store it into the metadata area carried
