I realized that my suggestion might be at odds with Mickaël's Landlock audit
patch set [1]. IIRC, the goal there is to log the reasons for a denial,
together with the Landlock ruleset on which this decision was based.

I'd recommend to wait for Mickaël to chime in on this one before spending the
time to reimplement that.
