Introduce security.lower_kptr_restrict property

This is to allow the tracing service to temporarily
lower kptr_restrict for the time it takes to build
its internal symbolization map (~200ms), only on
userdebug/eng builds.
kptr_restrict unfortunately cannot be lowered by
the tracing service itself. The main reason for that
is the fact that the kernel enforces a CAP_SYS_ADMIN
capability check at write() time, so the usual pattern
of opening the file in init and passing the FD to the
service won't work.

For more details see the design doc go/perfetto-kallsyms.
