[PATCH v7 02/10] landlock: Use landlock_walk_path_up for is_access_to_paths_allowed

Use common path walk helper for is_access_to_paths_allowed. This
maintains consistency with the existing implementation, and removes the
backward goto jump.

Notes:
    v6..v7 changes:
    
      * New patch split out from the v6 core NO_INHERIT implementation.
