bpf: Restrict bpf_sys_bpf to CAP_PERFMON

The verifier cannot perform sufficient validation of any pointers passed
into bpf_attr and treats them as integers rather than pointers. The helper
will then read from arbitrary pointers passed into it. Restrict the helper
to CAP_PERFMON since the security model in BPF of arbitrary kernel read is
CAP_BPF + CAP_PERFMON.

Fixes: af2ac3e13e45 ("bpf: Prepare bpf syscall to be used from kernel and user space.")
