Tracking the lockdown at the depth granularity rather than at the
individual is somewhat inflexible as it provides an "all or nothing"
approach. Instead there are use cases where it  will be useful to be
able to lockdown individual features - TDX for example wants to disable
access to just /dev/mem.

To accommodate this use case switch the internal implementation to using
a bitmap so that individual lockdown features can be turned on. At the
same time retain the existing semantic where
INTEGRITY_MAX/CONFIDENTIALITY_MAX are treated as wildcards meaning "lock
everything below me".

Context here is:

static ssize_t lockdown_read(struct file *filp, char __user *buf, size_t count,
                             loff_t *ppos)
{
        char temp[80] = "";
        int i, offset = 0;

        for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(lockdown_levels); i++) {
                enum lockdown_reason level = lockdown_levels[i];

...

Right now this is still just looping over the lockdown_levels, and so
it can't get longer than "none [integrity] [confidentiality]" which fits
easily into the 80 chars of temp.  But I'm worried that someone will
change this loop i a way that violates that.  Could you just switch
this to a snprintf that checks its result for < 0 and >= n , or some
other sanity check?
