seccomp: allow TSYNC and USER_NOTIF together
The restriction introduced in 7a0df7fbc145 ("seccomp: Make NEW_LISTENER and
TSYNC flags exclusive") is mostly artificial: there is enough information
in a seccomp user notification to tell which thread triggered a
notification. The reason it was introduced is because TSYNC makes the
syscall return a thread-id on failure, and NEW_LISTENER returns an fd, and
there's no way to distinguish between these two cases (well, I suppose the
caller could check all fds it has, then do the syscall, and if the return
value was an fd that already existed, then it must be a thread id, but
bleh).
Matthew would like to use these two flags together in the Chrome sandbox
which wants to use TSYNC for video drivers and NEW_LISTENER to proxy
syscalls.
So, let's fix this ugliness by adding another flag, TSYNC_ESRCH, which
tells the kernel to just return -ESRCH on a TSYNC error. This way,
NEW_LISTENER (and any subsequent seccomp() commands that want to return
positive values) don't conflict with each other.
