[PATCH] seccomp: cap SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO data to MAX_ERRNO

[Kees Cook]

The value resulting from the SECCOMP_RET_DATA mask could exceed MAX_ERRNO
when setting errno during a SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO filter action. This makes sure
we have a reliable value being set, so that an invalid errno will not be
ignored by userspace.
