[PATCH] landlock: Add counted_by and fix comment in landlock_ruleset

For a domain, this array stores the access masks for each layer (of
which there are num_layers of them).  For an unmerged ruleset, we have
one "layer", and one element in this array.  This annotation serves as
useful documentation.

This also removes a comment saying that num_layers = 0 for unmerged
rulesets, which is incorrect (it is 1).

I'm not sure if I should add a Fixes tag, but if I should had, it would
be ae271c1b14 ("landlock: Add ruleset and domain management").
