[RFC PATCH v2 2/9] landlock: Support TCP listen access-control

LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_BIND_TCP is useful to limit the scope of "bindable"
ports to forbid a malicious sandboxed process to impersonate a legitimate
server process. However, bind(2) might be used by (TCP) clients to set the
source port to a (legitimate) value. Controlling the ports that can be
used for listening would allow (TCP) clients to explicitly bind to ports
that are forbidden for listening.

Such control is implemented with a new LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_LISTEN_TCP
access right that restricts listening on undesired ports with listen(2).

It's worth noticing that this access right doesn't affect changing
backlog value using listen(2) on already listening socket.

* Create new LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_LISTEN_TCP flag.
* Add hook to socket_listen(), which checks whether the socket is allowed
  to listen on a binded local port.
* Add check_tcp_socket_can_listen() helper, which validates socket
  attributes before the actual access right check.
* Update `struct landlock_net_port_attr` documentation with control of
  binding to ephemeral port with listen(2) description.
* Change ABI version to 6.

Closes: https://github.com/landlock-lsm/linux/issues/15

Changes since v1:
* Refactors 'struct landlock_net_port_attr' documentation.
* Fixes check_tcp_socket_can_listen() description.
* Adds lockdep_assert_held() into check_tcp_socket_can_listen().
* Minor fixes.
