Well. This -EPERM doesn't look consistent...

if config_enabled(CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE) == F, we return success
but PTRACE_O_SUSPEND_SECCOMP has no effect because of another ifdef in
seccomp.

OTOH, if CONFIG_SECCOMP=n, this option has no effect too but we return
-EPERM even.

Also. Suppose that the tracer sets SUSPEND_SECCOMP and then drops
CAP_SYS_ADMIN. After that it can't set or clear other ptrace options.

So if we really want the security checks (I still think we do not ;)
then we should probably check "flags & SUSPEND_SECCOMP" as well.

Heh. OK, I won't argue with the new check too ;)
