Fix SIGSEGV caused by libbpf trying to find attach type in vmlinux BTF for freplace programs. It's wrong to search in vmlinux BTF and libbpf doesn't even mark vmlinux BTF as required for freplace programs. So trying to search anything in obj->vmlinux_btf might cause NULL dereference if nothing else in BPF object requires vmlinux BTF. Instead, error out if freplace (EXT) program doesn't specify attach_prog_fd during at the load time.
