[PATCH v2 2/3] landlock: access_mask_subset() helper

["Günther Noack" <gnoack3000@gmail.com>]

This helper function checks whether an access_mask_t has a subset of the
bits enabled than another one.  This expresses the intent a bit smoother
in the code and does not cost us anything when it gets inlined.
