Subject: [PATCH 5.18 777/879] landlock: Fix landlock_add_rule(2) documentation

From: Mickaël Salaün <mic@...ikod.net>

commit a13e248ff90e81e9322406c0e618cf2168702f4e upstream.

It is not mandatory to pass a file descriptor obtained with the O_PATH
flag.  Also, replace rule's accesses with ruleset's accesses.
