I think we should also check

capable(CAP_SYS_BOOT) && destructive_ebpf_enabled()

here. Or at least, destructive_ebpf_enabled(). Otherwise, we
may trigger panic after the sysctl is disabled.

In general, I don't think sysctl is a good API, as it is global, and
the user can easily forget to turn it back off. If possible, I would
rather avoid adding new BPF related sysctls.

Thanks,
Song
