I think that this code will result in ptrace-induced skips calling the
audit exit hook but not the audit entry hook.  I don't know whether
this is a problem.  It's also worth making sure that ptracing a
seccomp-skipped syscall calls the exit hook with the right regs.

I suspect it's fine, but I want to think about it a little bit more.
