bpf: Prevent mmap()'ing read-only maps as writable
As discussed in [0], it's dangerous to allow mapping BPF map, that's meant to be frozen and is read-only on BPF program side, because that allows user-space to actually store a writable view to the page even after it is frozen. This is exacerbated by BPF verifier making a strong assumption that contents of such frozen map will remain unchanged. To prevent this, disallow mapping BPF_F_RDONLY_PROG mmap()'able BPF maps as writable, ever.
