[PATCH v4 bpf-next 1/4] bpf: Validate BPF object in BPF_OBJ_PIN before calling LSM

[Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org>]

Do a sanity check whether provided file-to-be-pinned is actually a BPF
object (prog, map, btf) before calling security_path_mknod LSM hook. If
it's not, LSM hook doesn't have to be triggered, as the operation has no
chance of succeeding anyways.
