[PATCH v4 2/3] powerpc: Relax secure computing on syscall entry trace

[Bogdan Purcareata]

The secure_computing_strict will just force the kernel to panic on
secure_computing failure. Once SECCOMP_FILTER support is enabled in the kernel,
syscalls can be denied without system failure.

v4:
- rebase on top of 3.19

v3,v2: no changes
