[PATCH 1/3] bpf: add ability to configure unprivileged BPF via boot-time parameter

[Eugene Syromiatnikov]

This patch introduces two configuration options,
UNPRIVILEGED_BPF_BOOTPARAM and UNPRIVILEGED_BPF_BOOTPARAM_VALUE, that
allow configuring the initial value of kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled
sysctl knob, which is useful for the cases when disabling unprivileged
bpf() access during the early boot is desirable.
