lockdown: Lock down tracing and perf kprobes when in confidentiality mode
Disallow the creation of perf and ftrace kprobes when the kernel is locked down in confidentiality mode by preventing their registration. This prevents kprobes from being used to access kernel memory to steal crypto data, but continues to allow the use of kprobes from signed modules.
