[PATCH] netfilter: bpf: disallow conntrack kfuncs for token programs

BPF tokens delegate BPF and network-admin capability checks to the token
owning user namespace. Conntrack kfuncs nevertheless accept a network
namespace ID relative to the program context without checking whether the
token has authority over the resolved namespace.

An XDP program attached to a veth in a child network namespace can use
the peer namespace ID for init_net. bpf_xdp_ct_alloc() then allocates an
entry in init_net, bpf_ct_insert_entry() publishes it, and the lookup and
mutation kfuncs can subsequently access that host state.

The verifier retains the token in prog->aux, but it cannot determine the
runtime namespace selected through bpf_ct_opts. Conservatively reject the
conntrack kfunc set for token-loaded programs. The kfunc interface is
explicitly unstable, and ordinary token-authorized XDP programs remain
available.
