Subject: [PATCH V2] bpf: security enhancement by limiting the offensive eBPF helpers

The bpf_send_singal, bpf_send_singal_thread and bpf_override_return
is similar to bpf_write_user and can affect userspace processes.
Thus, these three helpers should also be restricted by security lockdown.

Signed-off-by: Yi He <clangllvm@....com>
---
 V1 -> V2: add security lockdown to bpf_send_singal_thread and remove 
	the unused LOCKDOWN_OFFENSIVE_BPF_MAX.
