Also I think here changing == to >= is probably unnecessary.
prog_array needs to do it because of circular dependency
whereas perf_event_array cannot have it.
Even when we attach bpf prog to perf_event and then add it to
perf_event_array used by the same prog, right?
Please test such scenario just in case.
