what if tgt_prog->aux->tgt_prog_type is also BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT? Should
this be a loop?

Which also brings up a few follow up questions. Now that we allow same
PROG_EXT program to be attached to multiple other programs:

1. what prevents us from attaching PROG_EXT to itself?
2. How do we prevent long chain of EXT programs or even loops?

Can you please add a few selftests testing such cases? I have a
feeling that with your changes in this patch set now it's possible to
break the kernel very easily. I don't know what the proper solution
is, but let's at least have a test that does show breakage, then try
to figure out the solution. See also comment in check_attach_btf_id()
about fentry/fexit and freplace interactions. That might not be
enough.
