bpf: Inherit system settings for CPU security mitigations

Currently, there exists a system-wide setting related to CPU security
mitigations, denoted as 'mitigations='. When set to 'mitigations=off', it
deactivates all optional CPU mitigations. Therefore, if we implement a
system-wide 'mitigations=off' setting, it should inherently bypass Spectre
v1 and Spectre v4 in the BPF subsystem.

Please note that there is also a more specific 'nospectre_v1' setting on
x86 and ppc architectures, though it is not currently exported. For the
time being, let's disregard more fine-grained options.

This idea emerged during our discussion about potential Spectre v1 attacks
with Luis [0].
