Ok, I'll do another refactoring patch for prog attach logic only.

oh, right, will drop

Yes, but that's how PROG_ATTACH/LINK_CREATE is set up. We had a
similar discussion for SK_LOOKUP recently. The only downside right now
is increasing struct cgroup_bpf size, but I think we have a plan for
mitigating it, similarly how netns bpf_link does it.

Previously driver/generic_xdp_install "owned" this program and assumed
an already incremented ref_cnt, but dropped that count when the
current program was replaced with a new one (or NULL). Now, net_device
*also* owns prog (in xdp_state[mode].prog), in addition to whatever
book-keeping driver does internally. So there needs to be extra
refcnt.

But you are right that this should have been part of refactoring in
patch #1, I'll move it there.

yep, great catch, thanks!
