IMO we should not fail because map updates can interleave with sk_skb
prog attachments, like so:

	update_map(map_fd, sock_fd);
	attach_prog(parser_fd, map_fd, BPF_SK_SKB_STREAM_PARSER);
	update_map(map_fd, sock_fd); // OK
	attach_prog(verdict_fd, map_fd, BPF_SK_SKB_STREAM_VERDICT);
	update_map(map_fd, sock_fd);

In practice, I would expect one process/thread to attach the programs,
while another is allowed to update the map at the same time.
