Make each bpf() syscall command a bit more self-contained, making it
easier to further enhance it. We move sysctl_unprivileged_bpf_disabled
handling down to map_create() and bpf_prog_load(), two special commands
in this regard.

This appears to be a problem in the original code, but capability checks
should be last, so that audit doesn't see a capability as having been
used when it wasn't. i.e. if bpf_capable() passes, but
sysctl_unprivileged_bpf_disabled isn't true, it'll look like a
capability got used, and the flag gets set. Not a big deal at the end of
the day, but the preferred ordering should be:

	if (sysctl_unprivileged_bpf_disabled && !bpf_capable())
		...
