[RFC PATCH v3 3/3] devguard: added device guard for mknod in non-initial userns

devguard is a simple LSM to allow CAP_MKNOD in non-initial user
namespace in cooperation of an attached cgroup device program. We
just need to implement the security_inode_mknod() hook for this.
In the hook, we check if the current task is guarded by a device
cgroup using the lately introduced cgroup_bpf_current_enabled()
helper. If so, we strip out SB_I_NODEV from the super block.

Access decisions to those device nodes are then guarded by existing
device cgroups mechanism.
