Add a selftest that attempts to conceptually replicate intended BPF token use cases inside user namespaced container. Child process is forked. It is then put into its own userns and mountns. Child creates BPF FS context object. This ensures child userns is captured as the owning userns for this instance of BPF FS. Given setting delegation mount options is privileged operation, we ensure that child cannot set them. This context is passed back to privileged parent process through Unix socket, where parent sets up delegation options, creates, and mounts it as a detached mount. This mount FD is passed back to the child to be used for BPF token creation, which allows otherwise privileged BPF operations to succeed inside userns. We validate that all of token-enabled privileged commands (BPF_BTF_LOAD, BPF_MAP_CREATE, and BPF_PROG_LOAD) work as intended. They should only succeed inside the userns if a) BPF token is provided with proper allowed sets of commands and types; and b) namespaces CAP_BPF and other privileges are set. Lacking a) or b) should lead to -EPERM failures. Based on suggested workflow by Christian Brauner ([0]).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
