Thanks Stephen, Mickaël.

Once the Landlock tree is pulled into Linus' tree during the next
merge window I'll update the LSM syscall patches currently living in
lsm/dev-staging and this conflict should go away. FWIW, there are
other conflicts with the LSM syscall patchset, most notably in the
syscall registrations, that should also resolve themselves when I
rebase on top of v6.7-rc1.
