Ok, I can resend with that. (sorry Oleg :)

The part I'm not immediately clear on is what to do when the tracer
dies and the task is running. Oleg pointed out that we can't play with
TIF_SECCOMP (or we could, but restoring it in this case is
complicated), and I'm not sure if playing with ->seccomp.mode has any
similar complications. I /think/ it should be ok to just re-enable it,
but I'm not sure.

I'd like to leave this patch as is (modulo the extra check) for now.
I'm still looking at a way to export mode 2 filters, so there will
hopefully be more patches in this area soon and we can reexamine then.

Thanks for the review.
