Failslab injection will cause kmalloc fail and fall back to
purge_effective_progs. The problem is that cg2 have attached another prog,
so when go through cg2 layer, iteration will add pos to 1, and subsequent
operations will be skipped by the following condition, and cg will meet
NULL in the end.

`if (pos && !(cg->bpf.flags[atype] & BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI))`

The NULL cg means no link or prog match, this is as expected, and it's not
a bug. So here just skip the no match situation.

I don't think it's necessary to remove this BUG_ON(), but it also
feels unnecessary for purge_effective_progs, so I don't mind it.

Will this patch be accepted? I think we should CC stable.

Stable will pick this up given Fixes tag. We were pinging also original patch author,
Tadeusz, for an ACK to include in commit msg, but looks he's unresponsive ... anyway,
applied, thanks!
