[PATCH 0/2] Forbid illegitimate binding via listen(2)

listen(2) can be called without explicit bind(2) call. For a TCP socket
it would result in assigning random port(in some range) to this socket
by the kernel. If Landlock sandbox supports LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_BIND_TCP,
this may lead to implicit access to a prohibited (by Landlock sandbox)
port. Malicious sandboxed process can accidentally impersonate a
legitimate server process (if listen(2) assigns it a server port number).

Patch adds hook on socket_listen() that prevents such scenario by checking
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_BIND_TCP access for port 0.

Few tests were added to cover this case.

Code coverage(gcov):
* security/landlock:
lines......: 94.5% (745 of 788 lines)
functions..: 97.1% (100 of 103 functions)

  landlock: Add hook on socket_listen()
  selftests/landlock: Create 'listen_zero', 'deny_listen_zero' tests
