If the system allows for the execution of unprivileged BPF programs
(e.g., ones where a random user can load their own BPF programs), will
they have hte ability to set and remove security.bpf.* xattrs?  If the
answer is yes, should this be disallowed?

I note that one of the use cases seems to be BPF-based LSM's, so we
may want to have something even more restrictive since otherwise any
BPF program could potentially have the same power as the LSM?
