When root-cgroup attach multi progs and sub-cgroup attach a
override prog, bpftool will display incorrectly for the attach
flags of the sub-cgroup’s effective progs:

$ bpftool cgroup tree /sys/fs/cgroup effective
CgroupPath
ID AttachType AttachFlags Name
/sys/fs/cgroup
6 cgroup_sysctl multi sysctl_tcp_mem
13 cgroup_sysctl multi sysctl_tcp_mem
/sys/fs/cgroup/cg1
20 cgroup_sysctl override sysctl_tcp_mem
6 cgroup_sysctl override sysctl_tcp_mem <- wrong
13 cgroup_sysctl override sysctl_tcp_mem <- wrong
/sys/fs/cgroup/cg1/cg2
20 cgroup_sysctl sysctl_tcp_mem
6 cgroup_sysctl sysctl_tcp_mem
13 cgroup_sysctl sysctl_tcp_mem

For cg1, obviously, the attach flags of prog6 and prog13 can not be
OVERRIDE, and the attach flags of prog6 and prog13 is meaningless for
cg1. We only need to care the attach flags of prog which attached to
cg1, other progs attach flags should be omit. After these patches,
the above situation will show as bellow:

$ bpftool cgroup tree /sys/fs/cgroup effective
CgroupPath
ID AttachType AttachFlags Name
/sys/fs/cgroup
6 cgroup_sysctl multi sysctl_tcp_mem
13 cgroup_sysctl multi sysctl_tcp_mem
/sys/fs/cgroup/cg1
20 cgroup_sysctl override sysctl_tcp_mem
6 cgroup_sysctl sysctl_tcp_mem
13 cgroup_sysctl sysctl_tcp_mem
/sys/fs/cgroup/cg1/cg2
20 cgroup_sysctl sysctl_tcp_mem
6 cgroup_sysctl sysctl_tcp_mem
13 cgroup_sysctl sysctl_tcp_mem

v2:
- Limit prog_cnt to avoid overflow. (John)
- Add more detail message.

John also raised a good question in v1: the flags don't seem to
make sense when requesting effective list. So maybe not export them
at all?
