[PATCH bpf-next 2/2] selftests/bpf: Test bpf_security_locked_down kfunc

Test the bpf_security_locked_down() kfunc. An LSM program attached to
the locked_down hook denies LOCKDOWN_HIBERNATION, so a syscall program
querying the kfunc observes both verdicts deterministically without
touching real lockdown state: 0 for LOCKDOWN_KEXEC and -EPERM for
LOCKDOWN_HIBERNATION. Out-of-range reasons must return -EINVAL.
Programs in denied calling contexts (a tracing program, and an LSM
program attached to the locked_down hook itself) must be rejected at
load time by the kfunc filter.
The selftest config guarantees the verdicts are stable: the bpf LSM is
in CONFIG_LSM and the lockdown LSM is not, so the kernel cannot already
be locked down.
