The main reason is that signature verification can be done also
for non-sleepable hooks. For example, one is fexit/array_map_update_elem.

Currently the helper in patch 2 just returns the size of verified data.
With an additional parameter, it could also be used as a helper for
signature verification by any eBPF programs.

To be honest, I like more the idea of a map flag, as it is more
clear that signature verification is being done. Otherwise,
we would need to infer it from the eBPF program code.

Thanks
