When using BPF_PROG_ATTACH to attach a program to a cgroup in BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI mode, it is not possible to replace a program with itself. This is because the check for duplicate programs doesn't take the replacement program into account. Replacing a program with itself might seem weird, but it has some uses: first, it allows resetting the associated cgroup storage. Second, it makes the API consistent with the non-ALLOW_MULTI usage, where it is possible to replace a program with itself. Third, it aligns BPF_PROG_ATTACH with bpf_link, where replacing itself is also supported. Sice this code has been refactored a few times this change will only apply to v5.7 and later.
