CVE-2024-43837: bpf: Fix null pointer dereference in resolve_prog_type() for BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Fix null pointer dereference in resolve_prog_type() for BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT

When loading a EXT program without specifying `attr->attach_prog_fd`,
the `prog->aux->dst_prog` will be null. At this time, calling
resolve_prog_type() anywhere will result in a null pointer dereference.

Example stack trace:

One way to fix it is by forcing `attach_prog_fd` non-empty when
bpf_prog_load(). But this will lead to `libbpf_probe_bpf_prog_type`
API broken which use verifier log to probe prog type and will log
nothing if we reject invalid EXT prog before bpf_check().

Another way is by adding null check in resolve_prog_type().

The issue was introduced by commit 4a9c7bbe2ed4 ("bpf: Resolve to
prog->aux->dst_prog->type only for BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT") which wanted
to correct type resolution for BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING programs. Before
that, the type resolution of BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT prog actually follows
the logic below:

  prog->aux->dst_prog ? prog->aux->dst_prog->type : prog->type;

It implies that when EXT program is not yet attached to `dst_prog`,
the prog type should be EXT itself. This code worked fine in the past.
So just keep using it.

Fix this by returning `prog->type` for BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT if `dst_prog`
is not present in resolve_prog_type().
