Subject: [PATCH] liveupdate: validate session type before performing operation

The sessions ioctls are not applicable to all session types. PRESERVE_FD
is only applicable to outgoing sessions. RETRIEVE_FD and FINISH are only
valid for incoming session. Calling a incoming ioctl on an outgoing
session is invalid and can cause file handlers to run into unexpected
errors.

For example, a user can create a (outgoing) session, preserve a memfd,
and then immediately do a retrieve without doing a kexec in between.
This would result in memfd's retrieve handler to run. The handlers
expects to be called from a post-kexec context, and will try to do a
kho_restore_vmalloc() or kho_restore_folio() to try and restore memory.

KHO catches this (thanks to KHO_PAGE_MAGIC) and returns an error, but
since this is considered an internal error and KHO throws out a bunch of
WARN()s.

Associate a type with each ioctl op and validate the type in
luo_session_ioctl() before dispatching the ioctl handler to make sure
the op is being called for the right session type.
