Subject: [PATCH v15 04/10] landlock: Add ptrace restrictions

Using ptrace(2) and related debug features on a target process can lead
to a privilege escalation.  Indeed, ptrace(2) can be used by an attacker
to impersonate another task and to remain undetected while performing
malicious activities.  Thanks to  ptrace_may_access(), various part of
the kernel can check if a tracer is more privileged than a tracee.

A landlocked process has fewer privileges than a non-landlocked process
and must then be subject to additional restrictions when manipulating
processes. To be allowed to use ptrace(2) and related syscalls on a
target process, a landlocked process must have a subset of the target
process' rules (i.e. the tracee must be in a sub-domain of the tracer).

Changes since v14:
* Constify variables.

Changes since v13:
* Make the ptrace restriction mandatory, like in the v10.
* Remove the eBPF dependency.
