bpf: Propagate expected_attach_type when verifying freplace programs
For some program types, the verifier relies on the expected_attach_type of the program being verified in the verification process. However, for freplace programs, the attach type was not propagated along with the verifier ops, so the expected_attach_type would always be zero for freplace programs. This in turn caused the verifier to sometimes make the wrong call for freplace programs. For all existing uses of expected_attach_type for this purpose, the result of this was only false negatives (i.e., freplace functions would be rejected by the verifier even though they were valid programs for the target they were replacing). However, should a false positive be introduced, this can lead to out-of-bounds accesses and/or crashes. The fix introduced in this patch is to propagate the expected_attach_type to the freplace program during verification, and reset it after that is done.
