landlock: Warn once if a Landlock action is requested while disabled
[ Upstream commit 782191c74875cc33b50263e21d76080b1411884d ]
Because sandboxing can be used as an opportunistic security measure,
user space may not log unsupported features. Let the system
administrator know if an application tries to use Landlock but failed
because it isn't enabled at boot time. This may be caused by boot
loader configurations with outdated "lsm" kernel's command-line
parameter.
