Yeah, we can't change the seccomp_data structure without a lot of
care, and tgid/tid really should be encoded in the filter. However, it
is tricky in the forking case.

Julien had been wanting something like this too (though he'd suggested
it via prctl): limit the signal functions to "self" only. I wonder if
adding a prctl like done for O_BENEATH could work for signal sending?
