Hi John,

Thanks for your review. The reason is that:
For the following cgroup tree:
    root
     |
    cg1
     |
    cg2

I attached prog1 and prog2 to root cgroup with MULTI attach type, 
attached prog3 to cg1 with OVERRIDE attach type, and then used bpftool
to show this cgroup tree with effective query flag:

$ bpftool cgroup tree /sys/fs/cgroup effective
CgroupPath
ID       AttachType      AttachFlags     Name
/sys/fs/cgroup
1        sysctl          multi           sysctl_tcp_mem
2        sysctl          multi           sysctl_tcp_mem
/sys/fs/cgroup/cg1
3        sysctl          override        sysctl_tcp_mem
1        sysctl          override        sysctl_tcp_mem <- wrong
2        sysctl          override        sysctl_tcp_mem <- wrong
/sys/fs/cgroup/cg1/cg2
3        sysctl                          sysctl_tcp_mem
1        sysctl                          sysctl_tcp_mem
2        sysctl                          sysctl_tcp_mem

For cg1, obviously, the attach flags of prog1 and prog2 can not be 
OVERRIDE, and the attach flags of prog1 and prog2 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.

We should limit it, will fix it in v2. For query without effective flag, 
progs_cnt will equal to cnt, and for effective flag situation, progs_cnt 
only calculate prog count which attached to this cgroup layer.
