I'd like to see this fail closed in the (theoretically impossible, but
why risk it) case of there being no filters at all. Could do something
like this:

u32 ret = current->seccomp.filter ? SECCOMP_RET_ALLOW : SECCOMP_RET_KILL;

Or, just this, to catch the misbehavior:

if (unlikely(current->seccomp.filter == NULL))
return SECCOMP_RET_KILL;
