Pu Lehui 6655c40970 bpf, cgroup: Fix invalid storage access after __cgroup_bpf_attach failed
A potential invalid storage access issue can occur after replacing a
cgroup bpf prog.

This occurs in the following scenario:
1. prog1 with storage is attached to a cgroup in multi-attach mode.
2. prog1 is replaced with prog2 using BPF_F_REPLACE in multi-attach
   mode, but fails midway (e.g. in bpf_trampoline_link_cgroup_shim or
   update_effective_progs).
3. A new prog3 is attached to the cgroup in multi-attach mode.

The reason is that __cgroup_bpf_attach overwrites pl->storage with the
new storage prior to attachment completion. When attachment fails
midway, the cleanup path calls bpf_cgroup_storages_free(new_storage) to
free the newly allocated storage, but fails to restore pl->storage back
to old_storage.

Consequently, the still-active prog1 holds invalid or dangling storage
pointers, leading to an invalid memory access when prog1 executes and
calls bpf_get_local_storage. Additionally, original pl->flags and
cgrp->bpf.flags[atype] are left unrestored.

Fix this by saving old_pl_flags, old_storage, and old_flags prior to the
update, and properly restoring all of them in the cleanup path on error.
