[PATCH] liveupdate: validate session type before performing operation

From: "Pratyush Yadav (Google)" <pratyush at kernel.org>
The sessions ioctls are not applicable to all session types. PRESERVE_FD
is only applicable to outgoing sessions. RETRIEVE_FD and FINISH are only
valid for incoming session. Calling a incoming ioctl on an outgoing
session is invalid and can cause file handlers to run into unexpected
errors.
For example, a user can create a (outgoing) session, preserve a memfd,
and then immediately do a retrieve without doing a kexec in between.
This would result in memfd's retrieve handler to run. The handlers
expects to be called from a post-kexec context, and will try to do a
kho_restore_vmalloc() or kho_restore_folio() to try and restore memory.
KHO catches this (thanks to KHO_PAGE_MAGIC) and returns an error, but
since this is considered an internal error and KHO throws out a bunch of
WARN()s.
Associate a type with each ioctl op and validate the type in
luo_session_ioctl() before dispatching the ioctl handler to make sure
the op is being called for the right session type.

Notes:
I added LUO_IOCTL_ALL but there is no user in this patch. The type is
for LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_GET_NAME which is supported for both session
types. The support for GET_NAME is in next and this patch should go
through fixes.
Alternatively, we can remove LUO_IOCTL_ALL from this patch and add it to
the LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_GET_NAME patch in next. But that would need us to
rebase to an rc that contains this fix.
