CVE-2021-20194

A toctou issue in `__cgroup_bpf_run_filter_getsockopt` can trigger a
WARN_ON_ONCE in a check of `copy_from_user`.

`*optlen` is checked to be non-negative in the individual getsockopt
functions beforehand. Changing `*optlen` in a race to a negative value
will result in a `copy_from_user(ctx.optval, optval, ctx.optlen)` with
`ctx.optlen` being a negative integer.

Fixes: 0d01da6afc54 ("bpf: implement getsockopt and setsockopt hooks")
