I forgot to update this commit message; this should say:
```
Add tests to check that whiteout object creation is guarded by
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_REG, in the cases where these are created from
userspace:
* Conventional creation with mknod()
* Linking or renaming an existing whiteout object
* renameat2() with RENAME_WHITEOUT,
which creates a new whiteout object in the source location
* renameat2() with RENAME_EXCHANGE,
with one of the renamed objects being a whiteout object
```
Please feel free to update it when picking up the change.
