bpf: Do not mark certain LSM hook arguments as trusted

Martin mentioned that the verifier cannot assume arguments from
LSM hook sk_alloc_security being trusted since after the hook
is called, the sk ref_count is set to 1. This will overwrite
the ref_count changed by the bpf program and may cause ref_count
underflow later on.

I then further checked some other hooks. For example,
for bpf_lsm_file_alloc() hook in fs/file_table.c,

        f->f_cred = get_cred(cred);
        error = security_file_alloc(f);
        if (unlikely(error)) {
                file_free_rcu(&f->f_rcuhead);
                return ERR_PTR(error);
        }

        atomic_long_set(&f->f_count, 1);

The input parameter 'f' to security_file_alloc() cannot be trusted
as well.

Specifically, I investiaged bpf_map/bpf_prog/file/sk/task alloc/free
lsm hooks. Except bpf_map_alloc and task_alloc, arguments for all other
hooks should not be considered as trusted. This may not be a complete
list, but it covers common usage for sk and task.

Fixes: 3f00c523
