[PATCH v3 05/12] landlock: Wrap per-layer access masks in struct layer_config

[Mickaël Salaün]

The per-layer FAM in struct landlock_ruleset currently stores struct
access_masks directly, but upcoming permission features (capability and
namespace restrictions) need additional per-layer data beyond the
handled-access bitfields.

Introduce struct layer_config as a wrapper around struct access_masks
and rename the FAM from access_masks[] to layers[].  This makes room for
future per-layer fields (e.g. allowed bitmasks) without modifying struct
access_masks itself, which is also used as a lightweight parameter type
for functions that only need the handled-access bitfields.

No functional change.

Changes since v2:
https://patch.msgid.link/20260527181127.879771-4-mic@xxxxxxxxxxx
- The rebase required adopting the released check-time struct
  layer_masks and the new per-ruleset quiet_access (added by the base's
  merged quiet feature) and updating the struct landlock_ruleset @layers
  kdoc; struct layer_config already existed in v2.

Changes since v1:
https://patch.msgid.link/20260312100444.2609563-5-mic@xxxxxxxxxxx
- Add Reviewed-by: Tingmao Wang.
- Address Günther Noack's review nits:
  - Clarify that _LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_INITIALLY_DENIED is ORed with
    the .handled field of all ruleset->layers[] entries (not the
    entries themselves).
  - Rename landlock_upgrade_handled_access_masks() to
    landlock_upgrade_handled_layer_config() to match the parameter
    type.
  - Rewrap the @layers kdoc in struct landlock_ruleset.
- Rename struct layer_rights to struct layer_config: "config" is
  the more general term for per-layer state.
