Subject: [PATCH 2/3] seccomp: Invalidate seccomp mode to catch death failures

If seccomp tries to kill a process, it should never see that process
again. To enforce this proactively, switch the mode to something
impossible. If encountered: WARN, reject all syscalls, and attempt to
kill the process again even harder.
