In order to drop the dependency of bpf_verifier.h in net/core/dev.c, pass
extack to bpf_xdp_link_attach() in link_create(). Afterwards, transfer
the error message from extack to log buffer in link_create().
Drop the stub bpf_log(), because it is not used in net/core/dev.c
anymore when CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL is not set.
