The else path in buf_to_xdp is only triggered when it's called in 
xsk_append_merge_buffer. That's also the reason of the memcpy line 
change in xsk_append_merge_buffer. xsk_append_merge_buffer will allocate 
frag and copy xdp_buff's data to that frag. Previously, after 
buf_to_xdp, the xdp->data does not point to correct place yet so when 
memcpy, we need to copy from xdp->data - vi->hdr_len. With this change, 
we will adjust xdp->data = xdp->data - vi->hdr_len right in buf_to_xdp 
and also adjust other fields (xdp->data_end) to the correct place too. 
So I don't think there is a functional change in this commit.
