It looks good, but something in this patch is causing a regression:
./test_progs -t kprobe_multi
test_kprobe_multi_test:PASS:load_kallsyms 0 nsec
#80/1    kprobe_multi_test/skel_api:OK
#80/2    kprobe_multi_test/link_api_addrs:OK
#80/3    kprobe_multi_test/link_api_syms:OK
#80/4    kprobe_multi_test/attach_api_pattern:OK
#80/5    kprobe_multi_test/attach_api_addrs:OK
#80/6    kprobe_multi_test/attach_api_syms:OK
#80/7    kprobe_multi_test/attach_api_fails:OK
test_bench_attach:PASS:get_syms 0 nsec
test_bench_attach:PASS:kprobe_multi_empty__open_and_load 0 nsec
libbpf: prog 'test_kprobe_empty': failed to attach: No such process
test_bench_attach:FAIL:bpf_program__attach_kprobe_multi_opts
unexpected error: -3
#80/8    kprobe_multi_test/bench_attach:FAIL
#80      kprobe_multi_test:FAIL

CI is unfortunately green, because we don't run it there:
#80/1 kprobe_multi_test/skel_api:OK
#80/2 kprobe_multi_test/link_api_addrs:OK
#80/3 kprobe_multi_test/link_api_syms:OK
#80/4 kprobe_multi_test/attach_api_pattern:OK
#80/5 kprobe_multi_test/attach_api_addrs:OK
#80/6 kprobe_multi_test/attach_api_syms:OK
#80/7 kprobe_multi_test/attach_api_fails:OK
#80 kprobe_multi_test:OK
