Ok, took me a bit to understand what the issue is. But the above is
not quite correct, for the above case of setting
BPF_TRACE_UPROBE_MULTI we do want to record BPF_TRACE_UPROBE_MULTI in
prog->expected_attach_type, because user might want to query that
later.

So I agree with the part of the fix below, but here I think we need
*both* update opts' and prog's expected_attach_type, so we will have:

       prog->expected_attach_type = BPF_TRACE_UPROBE_MULTI;
       opts->expected_attach_type = BPF_TRACE_UPROBE_MULTI;
