[PATCH bpf-next] bpf: prevent leak of lsm program after failed attach

From: Milan Landaverde
Date: Tue Dec 13 2022 - 12:58:33 EST


In [0], we added the ability to bpf_prog_attach LSM programs to cgroups,
but in our validation to make sure the prog is meant to be attached to
BPF_LSM_CGROUP, we return too early if the check fails. This results in
lack of decrementing prog's refcnt (through bpf_prog_put)
leaving the LSM program alive past the point of the expected lifecycle.
This fix allows for the decrement to take place.
