You don't need to pass O_RDWR -- only O_CLOEXEC is checked by
get_unused_fd_flags().

IMHO this check is more confusing than the original check_zeroed_user().
Something like the following is simpler and less prone to forgetting to
add a new field in the future:

	if (memchr_inv(&unotif, 0, sizeof(unotif)))
		return -EINVAL;

To my eye, the way this helper is used is a bit ugly -- my first
question when reading this was "why aren't we doing a copy_to_user() for
pidfds?".

Something like the following might be a bit cleaner I think:

	struct file *pidfd_file = NULL;

	if (send_pidfd) {
		// helper allocates the pidfd_file and sets unotify->fd
		ret = __seccomp_notify_recv_pidfd(&unotify, &pidfd_file)
		if (ret)
			goto err; // or whatever
	}

	if (copy_to_user(buf, &unotif, sizeof(unotif))) {
		ret = -EFAULT;
		goto err; // or whatever
	}

	if (send_pidfd)
		fd_install(unotif.fd, pidfd_file)

But to be fair, this is also somewhat ugly too.
