landlock: Check landlock_restrict_self(2)'s flags before privileges
landlock_restrict_self(2) currently checks the no_new_privs / CAP_SYS_ADMIN requirement before validating the flags argument. An unprivileged caller without no_new_privs thus gets EPERM even when the passed flags are invalid, hiding the EINVAL error. Move the no_new_privs / CAP_SYS_ADMIN check just after the flags check so that malformed calls consistently error out with EINVAL whatever the caller's privileges, the same way seccomp(2) validates its flags before checking no_new_privs. Update the restrict_self_checks_ordering test accordingly.
