[PATCH v1 7/9] selftests/landlock: Test filesystem denial blockers

Filesystem denial traces identify the policy change needed to allow a
request, so require exact blocker values rather than merely nonempty
output. Pin a READ_DIR denial to exactly one event with
blockers=read_dir. Pin a REFER-only mount denial to EPERM and exactly
one event with blockers=change_topology.
The mount child retains CAP_SYS_ADMIN so Landlock is the only expected
source of EPERM. This prevents a later capability failure from masking
a Landlock regression; the trace-collecting parent remains unsandboxed.
