[PATCH v2] landlock: Add abstract unix socket connect restrictions

Abstract unix sockets are used for local interprocess communication without
relying on filesystem. Since landlock has no restriction for connecting to
a UNIX socket in the abstract namespace, a sandboxed process can connect to
a socket outside the sandboxed environment. Access to such sockets should
be scoped the same way ptrace access is limited.

For a landlocked process to be allowed to connect to a target process, it
must have a subset of the target process’s rules (the connecting socket
must be in a sub-domain of the listening socket). This patch adds a new
LSM hook for connect function in unix socket with the related access rights.
