Introduce a selftest suite for LUO. These tests validate the core
userspace-facing API provided by the /dev/liveupdate device and its
associated ioctls.

The suite covers fundamental device behavior, session management, and
the file preservation mechanism using memfd as a test case. This
provides regression testing for the LUO uAPI.

The following functionality is verified:

Device Access:
    Basic open and close operations on /dev/liveupdate.
    Enforcement of exclusive device access (verifying EBUSY on a
    second open).

Session Management:
    Successful creation of sessions with unique names.
    Failure to create sessions with duplicate names.

File Preservation:
    Preserving a single memfd and verifying its content remains
    intact post-preservation.
    Preserving multiple memfds within a single session, each with
    unique data.
    A complex scenario involving multiple sessions, each containing
    a mix of empty and data-filled memfds.

Note: This test suite is limited to verifying the pre-kexec
functionality of LUO (e.g., session creation, file preservation).
The post-kexec restoration of resources is not covered, as the kselftest
framework does not currently support orchestrating a reboot and
continuing execution in the new kernel.
