In landlock_get_fs_access_mask(), only add the
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER right if any filesystem access rights are
handled at all. This prevents us from accidentally treating
non-filesystem layers as if they handled LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER.
landlock_get_fs_access_mask() is used when initializing the layer
masks for doing access right checks, so this bug meant that we
unintentionally denied "refer" (e.g., link, rename) operations in
layered cases, where the same operation would have been accepted if
only either one of the two layers had been enforced. If the rulesets
individually allow an operation, the composition of these rulesets
should also allow it.
The bug only manifests as soon as one other layer handles filesystem
access rights. Otherwise, Landlock filesystem path walk is guarded by
an early exit for the case that no filesystem-enforcing layer exists.

Regression test to exercise that layered Landlock domains do not
accidentally deny the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER access right. This
used to be the case when layering a non-filesystem ruleset with a
filesystem-enforcing ruleset. In that case, REFER operations that
would have been allowed for the individual rulesets would get denied
when layering the same rulesets.

Return the handled FS access mask as it is, instead of artificially
adding LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER to it.
Since commit d6c7cf84a24f ("landlock: Simplify initially denied access
rights"), the merge operation already bakes the initially denied
access rights (LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER) into the a layer's handled FS
access rights. -- They don't need to be added explicitly any more.
No functional change.
