Hello Mikhail!

Thanks for sending another revision of this patch set!

## Some observations that *do not* need to be addressed in this commit, IMHO:

get_raw_handled_socket_accesses, get_current_socket_domain and
current_check_access_socket are based on the similarly-named functions from
net.c (and fs.c), and it makes sense to stay consistent with these.

There are some possible refactorings that could maybe be applied to that code,
but given that the same ones would apply to net.c as well, it's probably best to
address these separately.

  * Should get_raw_handled_socket_accesses be inlined?
  * Does the WARN_ON_ONCE(dom->num_layers < 1) check have the right return code?
  * Can we refactor out commonalities (probably not worth it right now though)?


## The only actionable feedback that I have that is specific to this commit is:

In the past, we have introduced new (non-test) Landlock functionality in a
single commit -- that way, we have no "loose ends" in the code between these two
commits, and that simplifies it for people who want to patch your feature onto
other kernel trees.  (e.g. I think we should maybe merge commit 01/12 and 02/12
into a single commit.)  WDYT?
