security: Minor improvements to no_new_privs documentation
The documentation didn't actually mention how to enable no_new_privs. This also adds a note about possible interactions between no_new_privs and LSMs (i.e. why teaching systemd to set no_new_privs is not necessarily a good idea), and it references the new docs from include/linux/prctl.h.

To set no_new_privs, use prctl(PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS, 1, 0, 0, 0).

Be careful, though: LSMs might also not tighten constraints on exec

in no_new_privs mode. (This means that setting up a general-purpose

service launcher to set no_new_privs before execing daemons may
|

interfere with LSM-based sandboxing.)

Note that no_new_privs does not prevent privilege changes that do not

involve execve. An appropriately privileged task can still call

setuid(2) and receive SCM_RIGHTS datagrams.
