[SRU][F][PATCH v2 1/1] bpf: Allow delete from sockmap/sockhash only if update is allowed

From: Jakub Sitnicki <jakub at cloudflare.com>

We have seen an influx of syzkaller reports where a BPF program attached to
a tracepoint triggers a locking rule violation by performing a map_delete
on a sockmap/sockhash.

We don't intend to support this artificial use scenario. Extend the
existing verifier allowed-program-type check for updating sockmap/sockhash
to also cover deleting from a map.

>From now on only BPF programs which were previously allowed to update
sockmap/sockhash can delete from these map types.

Fixes: ff9105993240 ("bpf, sockmap: Prevent lock inversion deadlock in map delete elem")

(backported from commit 98e948fb60d41447fd8d2d0c3b8637fc6b6dc26d)
[mpellizzer: the fix commit depends on the function may_update_sockmap(),
which was introduced by 0126240f448d in mainline in v5.10. Other than
may_update_sockmap(), commit 0126240f448d introduces also a new bpf
feature which is not affecting the patch and which is not worth
backporting. Therefore, while backporting the fix commit I also backpoerted
the function may_update_sockmap() considering the differences in
context.]
