The duration variable is not referenced anywhere in the file.

Remove the unused variable.

selftests/bpf: remove unused duration variable from cgroup_attach_multi

This commit removes the duration variable from serial_test_cgroup_attach_multi()
under the assumption that it is unused.

[Severity: Low]
Will removing this variable cause a build failure? 

The BPF selftest framework's deprecated CHECK() macro implicitly requires the
duration variable to be present in the caller's scope, as it expands to
_CHECK(condition, tag, duration, format...).

Because serial_test_cgroup_attach_multi() uses CHECK() right below this, and
extensively throughout its body:

	for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(allow_prog); i++) {
		allow_prog[i] = prog_load_cnt(1, 1 << i);
		if (CHECK(allow_prog[i] < 0, "prog_load",
			  "verifier output:\n%s\n-------\n", bpf_log_buf))
			goto err;
	}

removing the duration variable causes an undeclared identifier compilation
error.

To safely remove the duration variable, the test must first be migrated to the
modern ASSERT_*() macros.

Stop sending untested noise...
