[PATCH v2 bpf-next 13/18] bpf: keep BPF_PROG_LOAD permission checks clear of validations

[Andrii Nakryiko]

Move out flags validation and license checks out of the permission
checks. They were intermingled, which makes subsequent changes harder.
Clean this up: perform straightforward flag validation upfront, and
fetch and check license later, right where we use it. Also consolidate
capabilities check in one block, right after basic attribute sanity
checks.
