Often it is useful when applying policy to know something about the
task. If the administrator has CAP_SYS_ADMIN rights then they can
use kprobe + sk_msg and link the two programs together to accomplish
this. However, this is a bit clunky and also means we have to call
sk_msg program and kprobe program when we could just use a single
program and avoid passing metadata through sk_msg/skb, socket, etc.

To accomplish this add probe_* helpers to sk_msg programs guarded
by a CAP_SYS_ADMIN check. New supported helpers are the following,

  BPF_FUNC_get_current_task
  BPF_FUNC_current_task_under_cgroup
  BPF_FUNC_probe_read_user
  BPF_FUNC_probe_read_kernel
  BPF_FUNC_probe_read
  BPF_FUNC_probe_read_user_str
  BPF_FUNC_probe_read_kernel_str
  BPF_FUNC_probe_read_str

I think this is a good idea. But this will require bpf program
to be GPLed, probably it will be okay. Currently, for capabilities,
it is CAP_SYS_ADMIN now, in the future, it may be CAP_PERFMON.

Also, do we want to remove BPF_FUNC_probe_read and
BPF_FUNC_probe_read_str from the list? Since we
introduce helpers to new program types, we can deprecate
these two helpers right away.

The new helpers will be subject to new security lockdown
rules which may have impact on networking bpf programs
on particular setup.

If we can get a consensus here, I think we can even folding all
these bpf helpers (get_current_task, ..., probe_read_kernel_str)
to bpf_base_func_proto, so any bpf program types including
other networking types can use them.
Any concerns?
