[PATCH bpf-next 10/13] bpf: Add the bpf_landlock_restrict_binprm kfunc

Add the enforcement kfunc for Landlock rulesets:
bpf_landlock_restrict_binprm(bprm, ruleset, flags)
It restricts the credentials prepared in @bprm with @ruleset, so that
the executed task starts confined by it, through
security_bprm_enforce_policy_kptr() invoked with LSM_ID_LANDLOCK.
When Landlock is compiled out or not enabled in the LSM order, the
call fails with -EOPNOTSUPP.
The kfunc keeps the BPF-facing interface strongly BTF-typed: with
kfunc arguments trusted by default, both the binprm (from the LSM
hook context) and the ruleset (an acquired reference) must be trusted
pointers whose provenance the verifier guarantees, not merely
type-matching ones.
The flags take the landlock_restrict_self(2) flags with their usual
semantics. Only LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_TSYNC is rejected (-EINVAL),
as it targets the calling threads rather than the execution.
The filter makes enforcement exclusive to the sleepable LSM programs
attached to the bprm_creds_for_exec() or bprm_creds_from_file()
hooks.
