imo, orphan the prog and not able to attach again is ok.  Finding the next 
compatible netdev would be nice but not a must to begin with.  Regardless, it 
needs a bpf_prog<->netdev decoupling approach which allows to unregister netdev 
gracefully instead of getting the "unregister_netdevice: waiting for xyz to 
become free...".

fwiw, offload.c has solved a similar problem and it keeps its own list of prog 
depending on a particular netdev.  Whatever approach makes more sense here. 
Ideally, other non-NIC HW kfunc can reuse a similar approach in the future.
