A bit messy ;)

I am wondering if we can simply do

	static inline bool current_no_new_privs(void)
	{
		if (current->no_new_privs)
			return true;

	#ifdef CONFIG_SECCOMP
		if (test_thread_flag(TIF_SECCOMP))
			return true;
	#endif

		return false;

	     return test_bit(SECCOMP_FLAG_NO_NEW_PRIVS, &p->seccomp.flags);
	}

instead ?

Oleg.
