landlock: Serialize TSYNC thread restriction

syzbot found a deadlock in landlock_restrict_sibling_threads().
When multiple threads concurrently call landlock_restrict_self() with
sibling thread restriction enabled, they can deadlock by mutually
queueing task_works on each other and then blocking in kernel space
(waiting for the other to finish).

Fix this by serializing the TSYNC operations within the same process
using the exec_update_lock. This prevents concurrent invocations
from deadlocking.

We use down_write_trylock() and restart the syscall if the lock
cannot be acquired immediately. This ensures that if a thread fails
to get the lock, it will return to userspace, allowing it to process
any pending TSYNC task_works from the lock holder, and then
transparently restart the syscall.
