Core of the problem is that ceph checks for return code from
security_dentry_init_security() and if return code is 0, it assumes
everything is fine and continues to call strlen(name), which crashes.

Typically SELinux LSM returns 0 and sets name to "security.selinux" and
it is not a problem. Or if selinux is not compiled in or disabled, it
returns -EOPNOTSUP and ceph deals with it.

But somehow in this configuration, 0 is being returned and "name" is
not being initialized and that's creating the problem.

Our suspicion is that BPF LSM is registering a hook for
dentry_init_security() and returns hook default of 0.

LSM_HOOK(int, 0, dentry_init_security, struct dentry *dentry,...)

I have not been able to reproduce it just by doing CONFIG_BPF_LSM=y.
Stephen has tested the patch though and confirms it solves the problem
for him.

dentry_init_security() is written in such a way that it expects only one
LSM to register the hook. Atleast that's the expectation with current code.

If another LSM returns a hook and returns default, it will simply return
0 as of now and that will break ceph.

Hence, suggestion is that change semantics of this hook a bit. If there
are no LSMs or no LSM is taking ownership and initializing security context,
then return -EOPNOTSUP. Also allow at max one LSM to initialize security
context. This hook can't deal with multiple LSMs trying to init security
context. This patch implements this new behavior.
