Looks like it's just a bunch of threads in the same thread group
trying to install a filter with TSYNC and NEW_LISTENER turned on. Does
the patch below look reasonable?

I didn't send it separately since I'm in the process of switching my
e-mail address to tycho@...ho.pizza; let this e-mail serve as proof
that that e-mail really is me too :). I can send it the normal way if
it looks good.

Subject: [PATCH] seccomp: don't leak memory when filter install races

In seccomp_set_mode_filter() with TSYNC | NEW_LISTENER, we first initialize
the listener fd, then check to see if we can actually use it later in
seccomp_may_assign_mode(), which can fail if anyone else in our thread
group has installed a filter and caused some divergence. If we can't, we
partially clean up the newly allocated file: we put the fd, put the file,
but don't actually clean up the *memory* that was allocated at
filter->notif. Let's clean that up too.

Fixes: 51891498f2da ("seccomp: allow TSYNC and USER_NOTIF together")
