sysctl: Disable bpf() calls from unprivileged users without toggle option
Commit Message
According to the Linux kernel documentation, enabling BPF_UNPRIV_DEFAULT_OFF
(which was done in 69dde418f11dc0085cbe061b90f6c002d6d6cce2) will cause
the sysctl kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled to default to 2. This
prohibits calls to bpf() from unprivileged users by default, but allows
for such calls to be allowed again during runtime, by setting
kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled to 0.
There is no legitimate reason why this should be possible on IPFire,
which is why this patch sets kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled to 1
during startup, causing the same effect as 2, but without any option to
revert this setting during runtime. This fixes a Lynis warning.
