Add an eBPF function bpf_handle_fs_get_mode(handle_fs) to get the mode
of a an abstract object wrapping either a file, a dentry, a path, or an
inode.

Changes since v4:
* use a file abstraction (handle) to wrap inode, dentry, path and file
  structs

Good to see these abstractions.  As discussed at LPC, we need to ensure 
that we don't couple the Landlock API too closely with the LSM API, as the 
former is an ABI exposed to userland -- we don't want to lose the ability 
to change LSM internally due to breaking Landlock policies.

Right, it is the case now, especially with the Landlock events.

Extraneous whitespace?

It is on purpose, following the same rules as used for this enum.
