Yes, I think so and it is, isn't it?
The original is

tst r1, #_TIF_SYSCALL_WORK | _TIF_WORK_MASK
bne fast_work_pending

and with the LAZY bits in it, the ASM opcode no longer works because
the constant is too large (or has to many bits set). So I removed the
_TIF_SECCOMP bit out of the mask and made two compare & jumps here.
