Subject: [PATCH bpf] bpf: exempt CAP_BPF from checks against bpf_jit_limit

When introducing CAP_BPF, bpf_jit_charge_modmem was not changed to
treat programs with CAP_BPF as privileged for the purpose of JIT
memory allocation. This means that a program without CAP_BPF can
block a program with CAP_BPF from loading a program.

Fix this by checking bpf_capable in bpf_jit_charge_modmem.

Fixes: 2c78ee898d8f ("bpf: Implement CAP_BPF")
