You are right, I somehow was under impression that ret vs non-retprobe
comes from attach type as well.

Ok, moving flags into common bpf_link struct sounds good to me. I'd
still move attach_type into bpf_link, together with flags, for
generality (and update all those links that already include
attach_type as you mentioned). We can make it a single-byte field to
not increase bpf_link size unnecessarily (by using bitfield size).
