Stephen, can you confirm that your concerns around this are resolved
(IIRC, by SELinux implementing a bpf_prog callback) ?

I guess the only residual concern I have is that CAP_MAC_ADMIN means something different to SELinux (ability to get/set file security contexts unknown to the currently loaded policy), so leaving the CAP_MAC_ADMIN check here (versus calling a new security hook here and checking CAP_MAC_ADMIN in the implementation of that hook for the modules that want that) conflates two very different things. Prior to this patch, there are no users of CAP_MAC_ADMIN outside of individual security modules; it is only checked in module-specific logic within apparmor, safesetid, selinux, and smack, so the meaning was module-specific.
