[PATCH] tools/perf: Fix bpf__probe to set bpf_prog_type type only if differs from the desired one

[Athira Rajeev]

The test "BPF prologue generation" fails as below:

   Writing event: p:perf_bpf_probe/func _text+10423200 f_mode=+20(%gpr3):x32 
offset=%gpr4:s64 orig=%gpr5:s32

   ;

   libbpf: failed to load object '[bpf_prologue_test]'
   bpf: load objects failed: err=-13: (Permission denied)
   Failed to add events selected by BPF

This fails occurs after this commit:
commit d6e6286a12e7 ("libbpf: disassociate section handler
on explicit bpf_program__set_type() call")'

With this change, SEC_DEF handler libbpf which is determined
initially based on program's SEC() is set to NULL. The change
is made because sec_def is not valid when user sets the program
type with bpf_program__set_type function. This commit also fixed
bpf_prog_test_load() helper in selftests/bpf to force-set program
type only if it differs from the desired one.

The "bpf__probe" function in util/bpf-loader.c, also calls
bpf_program__set_type to set bpf_prog_type. Add similar fix in
here as well to avoid setting sec_def to NULL.
