Ah! This is the part I missed when I was originally trying to figure
out the coredump stuff. It's the need for setting a default handler
(i.e. doing a coredump)?

Looks good to me. This may benefit from force_sig_seccomp() to be wrapped
in an #ifdef CONFIG_SECCOMP.

(This patch reminds me that the seccomp self tests don't check for core
dumps...)
