This patch introduces hash chain support for signature verification of
arbitrary bpf map objects which was described here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-security-module/20250721211958.1881379-1-kpsingh@kernel.org/
The UAPI is extended to allow for in-kernel checking of maps passed in
via the fd_array. A hash chain is constructed from the maps, in order
specified by the signature_maps field. The hash chain is terminated
with the hash of the program itself.
