Yes, I think this should work for file_set_fowner:

struct landlock_ruleset *prev_dom, *new_dom;

new_dom = landlock_get_current_domain();
landlock_get_ruleset(new_dom);

/* Cf. f_modown() */
write_lock_irq(&filp->f_owner.lock);
prev_dom = rcu_replace_pointer(&landlock_file(file)->fown_domain,
	new_dom, lockdep_is_held(&filp->f_owner.lock));
write_unlock_irq(&filp->f_owner.lock);

landlock_put_ruleset_rcu(prev_dom);
