I am holding these until the newer trees are covered. 7.2 and 6.18 already
carry 672fa082d48b ("landlock: Require LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_REG for whiteout
creation") but not ee890889b30b ("selftests/landlock: Add tests for whiteout
object creation"), and taking a fix on 6.12 and older while 6.18 lacks it is
the wrong order.

7.2 can take the upstream commit as is, but 6.18 cannot: it has no enforce_fs()
and dc75f8904694 ("selftests/landlock: Simplify ruleset creation and
enforcement in fs_test") does not apply there.

Could you send a 6.18.y version? The 6.12, 6.6, 6.1 and 5.15 patches themselves
look good and I will take them once 6.18 is in hand.
