well it's not new prog type, it's new link type that allows
to attach kprobe program to multiple functions

the original change used BPF_LINK_TYPE_RAW_KPROBE, which did not
seem to fit anymore, so I moved to FPROBE, because that's what
it is ;-)

but if you don't want new name in uapi we could make this more
obvious with link name:
BPF_LINK_TYPE_MULTI_KPROBE

and bpf_attach_type:
BPF_TRACE_MULTI_KPROBE
