[PATCH v15 07/12] bpf: Add bpf_verify_pkcs7_signature() kfunc

From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu at huawei.com>

Add the bpf_verify_pkcs7_signature() kfunc, to give eBPF security modules
the ability to check the validity of a signature against supplied data, by
using user-provided or system-provided keys as trust anchor.

The new kfunc makes it possible to enforce mandatory policies, as eBPF
programs might be allowed to make security decisions only based on data
sources the system administrator approves.

The caller should provide the data to be verified and the signature as eBPF
dynamic pointers (to minimize the number of parameters) and a bpf_key
structure containing a reference to the keyring with keys trusted for
signature verification, obtained from bpf_lookup_user_key() or
bpf_lookup_system_key().

For bpf_key structures obtained from the former lookup function,
bpf_verify_pkcs7_signature() completes the permission check deferred by
that function by calling key_validate(). key_task_permission() is already
called by the PKCS#7 code.
