[PATCH I/U] UBUNTU: [Config] mark CONFIG_BPF_UNPRIV_DEFAULT_OFF enforced

Setting unprivileged_bpf_disabled to 2 by default will prevent attacks
using BPF by unprivileged users by default. If necessary, the sysadmin will
be able to turn this on again by setting unprivileged_bpf_disabled to 0. On
the other hand, the sysadmin can disable unprivileged BPF without allowing
it to be reenabled by setting unprivileged_bpf_disabled to 1.

Additionaly, there is a CAP_BPF that allows processes to use BPF without
having the complete capability set or CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

Mark the option as enforced so derivative kernels will pick it up.
