[PATCH] seccomp: Report number of loaded filters in /proc/$pid/status

[Kees Cook]

A common question asked when debugging seccomp filters is "how many
filters are attached to your process?" A common mistake for process
launchers is applying filters before fork, instead of after, which means
each progressive child has an extra redundant filter added, which will
slowly increase syscall overhead. Provide a way to easily diagnose these
conditions through /proc/$pid/status with a "Seccomp_filters" line.
