Subject: [PATCH 4.9 57/87] seccomp: Enable speculation flaw mitigations

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>

commit 5c3070890d06ff82eecb808d02d2ca39169533ef upstream

When speculation flaw mitigations are opt-in (via prctl), using seccomp
will automatically opt-in to these protections, since using seccomp
indicates at least some level of sandboxing is desired.
