Pull seccomp updates from Kees Cook: - Add "atomic addfd + send reply" mode to SECCOMP_USER_NOTIF to better handle EINTR races visible to seccomp monitors. (Rodrigo Campos, Sargun Dhillon) - Improve seccomp selftests for readability in CI systems.

It is worth noting that ``struct seccomp_data`` contains the values of register
arguments to the syscall, but does not contain pointers to memory. The task's
memory is accessible to suitably privileged traces via ``ptrace()`` or
