Just want to make sure this doesn't get lost in the shuffle. If I
resend just Oleg's patch with the added __get_secomp_filter() instead
of open coded refcount, will that work for you Kees?

We can worry about the get_nth_filter implementation with the
PTRACE_SECCOMP_GET_METADATA series later.

Cheers,
