[PATCH v3 2/3] landlock: selftests for LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_TSYNC

These tests are useful but there are two missing parts:
- testing the restriction of each thread;
- testing the domain ID of each thread.

I'll merge this whole series but could you please extend this test file
with a new patch?

I fixed the helpers to make them static.
