Friendly reminder -- could you please also transcribe the newly added
documentation into the Landlock man pages?  I added a tracking issue
at https://github.com/landlock-lsm/linux/issues/66 where I outlined
the rough process, which is mostly mechanical.  I am happy to do a
review.

I think in this case, it probably only needs an entry in the VERSIONS
table in landlock(7) and an update to landlock_create_ruleset(2) to
document what the flag does.

Thanks,
Günther
