    sysctl.conf: prevent unintentional writes into attacker-controlled files and FIFOs
    
    Similar to hard- and symlink protection introduced a while ago, this
    patch enables protections against unintentional writes into
    attacker-controlled regular files or FIFOs, where a program expected to
    create new ones. This makes exploiting TOCTOU flaws harder.
