x86: Enable HAVE_ARCH_SECCOMP_FILTER
Enable support for seccomp filter on x86: - syscall_get_arch() - syscall_get_arguments() - syscall_rollback() - syscall_set_return_value() - SIGSYS siginfo_t support - secure_computing is called from a ptrace_event()-safe context - secure_computing return value is checked (see below). SECCOMP_RET_TRACE and SECCOMP_RET_TRAP may result in seccomp needing to skip a system call without killing the process. This is done by returning a non-zero (-1) value from secure_computing. This change makes x86 respect that return value. To ensure that minimal kernel code is exposed, a non-zero return value results in an immediate return to user space (with an invalid syscall number).
