Hi Jann,

I considered since the file structure can always be obtained, then the
file owner PID always exist. I can check if we can use the credentials
stored in struct file instead.

Because Landlock does not use any security blob for this purpose, I am
not sure how to record the owner's doamin.
The alternative way looks nice.
