Documentation: seccomp: Fix user notification documentation
The documentation had some previously incorrect information about how userspace notifications (and responses) were handled due to a change from a previously proposed patchset.

It is worth noting that ``struct seccomp_data`` contains the values of register
arguments to the syscall, but does not contain pointers to memory. The task's
