Anastasios reported crash on stable 5.15 kernel with following bpf attached to lsm hook:

bpf_d_path(path, p, 128); return 0;}
but bprm->executable can be NULL, so bpf_d_path call will crash:

It's problem for all stable trees with bpf_d_path helper, which was added in 5.9.
This issue is fixed in current bpf code, where we identify and mark trusted pointers, so the above code would fail to load.
For the sake of the stable trees and to workaround potentially broken verifier in the future, adding the code that reads the path object from the passed pointer and verifies it's valid in kernel space.

One question though: does it really have to go via bpf tree? Can it be a stable-only fix? Otherwise it's not really clear why we need to double-check anything if the pointer is trusted..
