This is drastically different from all other cgroup-bpf progs.
I think all programs should be executed regardless of return code.
It seems to me that 1 vs 2 difference can be expressed via bpf program logic
instead of return code.
How about we do what all other cgroup-bpf progs do:
"any no is no. all yes is yes"
Meaning any ret=0 - EPERM back to user.
If all are ret=1 - kernel handles get/set.
I think the desire to differentiate 1 vs 2 came from ordering issue
on getsockopt.
How about for setsockopt all progs run first and then kernel.
For getsockopt kernel runs first and then all progs.
Then progs will have an ability to overwrite anything the kernel returns.
