[PATCH v1] seccomp: simplify secure_computing()

From: Christian Brauner
Date: Tue Sep 24 2019 - 02:44:30 EST


Afaict, the struct seccomp_data argument to secure_computing() is unused
by all current callers. So let's remove it.
The argument was added in [1]. It was added because having the arch
supply the syscall arguments used to be faster than having it done by
secure_computing() (cf. Andy's comment in [2]). This is not true anymore
though.
