Would requiring the size to be '0' at F_SEAL_GUEST time solve that problem?

I guess. Maybe we would need a WRITE_ONCE() on set. I donno. I will look
closer into locking next.

We can decisively eliminate this sort of failure by making the switch
happen at open time instead of after.  For a memfd-like API, this would
be straightforward.  For a filesystem, it would take a bit more thought.
