It's quite confusing in practice when it's possible to successfully create a BPF token from BPF FS that didn't have any of delegate_xxx mount options set up. While it's not wrong, it's actually more meaningful to reject BPF_TOKEN_CREATE with specific error code (-ENOENT) to let user-space know that no token delegation is setup up. So, instead of creating empty BPF token that will be always ignored because it doesn't have any of the allow_xxx bits set, reject it with -ENOENT. If we ever need empty BPF token to be possible, we can support that with extra flag passed into BPF_TOKEN_CREATE.
