Original cgroup v2 eBPF code for filtering device access made it

commit 4b7d4d453fc4 ("device_cgroup: Export devcgroup_check_permission")
reverted this, making it required to set it to y.
Since the device filtering (and all the docs) for cgroup v2 is no longer
a "device controller" like it was in v1, someone might compile their
kernel with CONFIG_CGROUP_DEVICE=n. Then (for linux 5.5+) the eBPF
filter will not be invoked, and all processes will be allowed access
to all devices, no matter what the eBPF filter says.

The patch makes perfect sense to me.

Tejun, I presume you'll pick this up (given the files this fix touches)?
Thanks,
