Why is this needed? If it can't be avoided, a comment should exist
here explaining why.

I'm confused by the separation of hook registration here. The call to
security_add_hooks is with count=0 is especially weird. Why isn't this
just a single call with security_add_hooks(landlock_hooks,
ARRAY_SIZE(landlock_hooks), "landlock")?

Oh, is this to make it last in the list? Is there a reason it has to be last?
