The idea is to have multiple way for userland to describe a resource
(e.g. an open file descriptor, a path or a glob pattern). The kernel
representation could then be a "struct path *" or dedicated types (e.g.
custom glob).
Another interesting point (that could replace
check_map_func_compatibility()) is that BPF_MAP_TYPE_LANDLOCK_ARRAY
translate to dedicated (abstract) types (instead of CONST_PTR_TO_MAP)
thanks to bpf_reg_type_from_map(). This is useful to abstract userland
(map) interface with kernel object(s) dealing with that type.
A third point is that BPF_MAP_TYPE_LANDLOCK_ARRAY is a kind of set. It
is optimized to quickly walk through all the elements in a sequential way.
