Add new LSM hook, bpf_btf_load_security, that allows custom LSM security
policies controlling BTF data loading permissions (BPF_BTF_LOAD command
of bpf() syscall) granularly and precisely.
This complements bpf_map_create_security LSM hook added earlier and
follow the same semantics: 0 means perform standard kernel capabilities-based
checks, negative error rejects BTF object load, while positive one skips
CAP_BPF check and allows BTF data object creation.
With this hook, together with bpf_map_create_security, we now can also allow
trusted unprivileged process to create BPF maps that require BTF, which
we take advantaged in the next patch to improve the coverage of added
BPF selftest.
