[RFC v1 11/14] krsi: Pin argument pages in bprm_check_security hook

From: KP Singh <kpsingh at google.com>

Pin the memory allocated to the the argv + envv for the new
process and passes it in the context to the eBPF programs attached to
the hook.

The get_user_pages_remote cannot be called from an eBPF helper because
the helpers run in atomic context and the get_user_pages_remote function
can sleep.

The following heuristics can be added as an optimization:

- Don't pin the pages if no eBPF programs are attached.
- Don't pin the pages if none of the eBPF programs depend on the
  information. This would require introspection of the byte-code and
  checking if certain helpers are called.
