This restriction is probably too severe.
Song added support for trampoline and KLPs to co-exist on the same function.
This multi trampoline restriction will resurface the same issue.
afiak this restriction is only because multi trampoline image
is the same for A,B,C. This memory optimization is probably going too far.
How about we keep existing logic of one tramp image per function.
Pretend that multi-prog P matches BTF of the target function,
create normal tramp for it and attach prog P there.
The prototype of P allows six u64. The args are potentially rearding
garbage, but there are no safety issues, since multi progs don't know BTF types.

We still need sinle bpf_link_multi to contain btf_ids of all functions,
but it can point to many bpf tramps. One for each attach function.

iirc we discussed something like this long ago, but I don't remember
why we didn't go that route.
arch_prepare_bpf_trampoline is fast.
bpf_tramp_image_alloc is fast too.
So attaching one multi-prog to thousands of btf_id-s should be fast too.
The destroy part is interesting.
There we will be doing thousands of bpf_tramp_image_put,
but it's all async now. We used to have synchronize_rcu() which could
be the reason why this approach was slow.
Or is this unregister_fentry that slows it down?
But register_ftrace_direct_multi() interface should have solved it
for both register and unregister?

Hopefully the bpf_tramp_id concept won't be needed.
It's bpf_link that will keep a link list or array of btf_ids and tramps.
bpf_tracing_link_multi ?
link destroy is simply going over all tramps and removing prog from them.
