[PATCH bpf-next 4/8] bpf, lsm: implement bpf_map_create_security LSM hook

Add new LSM hook, bpf_map_create_security, that allows custom LSM
security policies controlling BPF map creation permissions granularly
and precisely.
This new LSM hook allows to implement both LSM policy that could enforce
more granular and restrictive decisions about which processes can create
which BPF maps, by rejecting BPF map creation based on passed in
bpf_attr attributes. But also it allows to bypass CAP_BPF and
CAP_NET_ADMIN restrictions, normally enforced by kernel, for
applications that LSM policy deems trusted. Trustworthiness
determination of the process/user/cgroup/etc is left up to custom LSM
hook implementation and will dependon particular production setup of
each individual use case.
If LSM policy wants to rely on default kernel logic, it can return
0 to delegate back to kernel. If it returns >0 return code,
kernel will bypass its normal checks. This way it's possible to perform
a delegation of trust (specifically for BPF map creation) from
privileged LSM custom policy implementation to unprivileged user
process, verifier and trusted by custom LSM policy.
Such model allows flexible and secure-by-default approach where user
processes that need to use BPF features (BPF map creation, in this case)
are left unprivileged with no CAP_BPF, CAP_NET_ADMIN, CAP_PERFMON, etc.
capabilities, but specific exceptions are implemented (usually in
a centralized server fleet-wide fashion) for trusted
processes/containers/users, allowing them to manipulate BPF facilities,
as long as they are allowed and known apriori.
This patch implements first required part for full-fledged BPF usage:
map creation. The other one, BPF program load, will be addressed in
follow up patches.
