The 'XDP_RING_NEED_WAKEUP' and related flags are defined if_xdp.h, so if
users are building their own kernel, users have to update the kernel's
header files, by doing:

  $ make headers_install INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/usr

Otherwise the following error shows:
/usr/local/include/bpf/xsk.h: In function 'xsk_ring_prod__needs_wakeup':
/usr/local/include/bpf/xsk.h:82:21: error: 'XDP_RING_NEED_WAKEUP' undeclared \
  (first use in this function)
  return *r->flags & XDP_RING_NEED_WAKEUP;
