landlock: Support filesystem access-control

Using Landlock objects and ruleset, it is possible to tag inodes
according to a process's domain.  To enable an unprivileged process to
express a file hierarchy, it first needs to open a directory (or a file)
and pass this file descriptor to the kernel through
landlock_add_rule(2).  When checking if a file access request is
allowed, we walk from the requested dentry to the real root, following
the different mount layers.  The access to each "tagged" inodes are
collected according to their rule layer level, and ANDed to create
access to the requested file hierarchy.  This makes possible to identify
a lot of files without tagging every inodes nor modifying the
filesystem, while still following the view and understanding the user
has from the filesystem.

Add a new ARCH_EPHEMERAL_INODES for UML because it currently does not
keep the same struct inodes for the same inodes whereas these inodes are
in use.

This commit adds a minimal set of supported filesystem access-control
which doesn't enable to restrict all file-related actions.  This is the
result of multiple discussions to minimize the code of Landlock to ease
review.  Thanks to the Landlock design, extending this access-control
without breaking user space will not be a problem.  Moreover, seccomp
filters can be used to restrict the use of syscall families which may
not be currently handled by Landlock.
