iptables: open eBPF programs in read only mode

Adjust the mode eBPF programs are opened in so 0400 pinned bpf programs
work without requiring CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE.

This matches Linux 5.2's:

    bpf: relax inode permission check for retrieving bpf program

    For iptable module to load a bpf program from a pinned location, it
    only retrieve a loaded program and cannot change the program content so
    requiring a write permission for it might not be necessary.
    Also when adding or removing an unrelated iptable rule, it might need to
    flush and reload the xt_bpf related rules as well and triggers the inode
    permission check. It might be better to remove the write premission
    check for the inode so we won't need to grant write access to all the
    processes that flush and restore iptables rules.

  kernel/bpf/inode.c:
  - int ret = inode_permission(inode, MAY_READ | MAY_WRITE);
  + int ret = inode_permission(inode, MAY_READ);

In practice, AFAICT, the xt_bpf match .fd field isn't even used by new
kernels, but I believe it might be needed for compatibility with old ones
(though I'm pretty sure table modifications on them will outright fail).

Test: builds, passes Android test suite (albeit on an older iptables base),
