lsm: improve logging about absence of lsm-bpf

In containers securityfs is typically not mounted. Our lsm-bpf code
so far detected this situation and claimed the kernel was lacking
lsm-bpf support. Which isn't quite true though, it might very well
support it. This made boots of systemd in systemd-nspawn a bit ugly,
because of the misleading log message at boot.

Let's improve things, and make clearer what is going on.
