landlock: Explain how to support Landlock

Let's help users by documenting how to enable and check for Landlock in
the kernel and the running system.  The userspace-api section may not be
the best place for this but it still makes sense to put all the user
documentation at the same place.

+Landlock was first introduced in Linux 5.13 but it must be configured at build
+time with `CONFIG_SECURITY_LANDLOCK=y`.  Landlock must also be enabled at boot
+time as the other security modules.  The list of security modules enabled by
+default is set with `CONFIG_LSM`.  The kernel configuration should then
+contains `CONFIG_LSM=landlock,[...]` with `[...]`  as the list of other
+potentially useful security modules for the running system (see the
+`CONFIG_LSM` help).
+
+If the running kernel doesn't have `landlock` in `CONFIG_LSM`, then we can
+still enable it by adding ``lsm=landlock,[...]`` to
+Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst thanks to the bootloader
+configuration.
