[Bug runtime/10976] New: Untrusted uprobes.ko.sig shouldn't be fatal for the privileged


Users in the stapdev group and root can load their script module regardless of
whether it has an authorized signature, as long as it is not found as
MODULE_ALTERED.  The same should be true for loading uprobes.ko.  (We might even
permit this for stapusr, since it's loading from the installed runtime path...)

A missing or unauthorized uprobes.ko cert should only be fatal for non-root,
non-stapdev users -- i.e. unprivileged users only.
