[PATCH v1] landlock: Fix kernel-doc for the nested quiet layer flag

kernel-doc emits "Excess struct member 'quiet' description in
'landlock_layer'" because "quiet" is a bitfield inside the named nested
struct "flags", but its inline comment used the bare member name
"@quiet:", which kernel-doc attributes to the enclosing landlock_layer.

Use the canonical dotted notation "@flags.quiet:" so kernel-doc resolves
the nested member, and include it in the generated documentation.
