I found one other hook, file_send_sigiotask, which mentions
"Note that this hook is sometimes called from interrupt." So I think
we should add it to the list as well.

Given some more due diligence done here
and Daniel's proposal of adding __might_sleep() to
the __bpf_prog_enter_sleepable() we should be able to
iterate on finding other non-sleepable hooks (if they exist)
and eventually augmenting the LSM_HOOK macro for a
more structured way to store this information.
