bpf: Add kconfig knob for disabling unpriv bpf by default

commit 08389d8882 upstream.

Add a kconfig knob which allows for unprivileged bpf to be disabled by default.
If set, the knob sets /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled to value of 2.

This still allows a transition of 2 -> {0,1} through an admin. Similarly,
this also still keeps 1 -> {1} behavior intact, so that once set to permanently
disabled, it cannot be undone aside from a reboot.

We've also added extra2 with max of 2 for the procfs handler, so that an admin
still has a chance to toggle between 0 <-> 2.

Either way, as an additional alternative, applications can make use of CAP_BPF
that we added a while ago.

unprivileged_bpf_disabled:
Writing 1 to this entry will disable unprivileged calls to bpf();
once disabled, calling bpf() without CAP_SYS_ADMIN will return
-EPERM. Once set to 1, this can't be cleared from the running kernel
anymore.
Writing 2 to this entry will also disable unprivileged calls to bpf(),
however, an admin can still change this setting later on, if needed, by
writing 0 or 1 to this entry.
If BPF_UNPRIV_DEFAULT_OFF is enabled in the kernel config, then this
entry will default to 2 instead of 0.
0 - Unprivileged calls to bpf() are enabled
1 - Unprivileged calls to bpf() are disabled without recovery
