Any reason not to write this as:
for (orig = tsk->seccomp.filter; refcount_dec_and_test(&orig->live); orig = orig->prev)?

Also, for those of us who are plumbing in the likes of Go code into the
listener, where we don't have direct access to the epoll interface (at
least not out of the box), what do you think about exposing this on the RECV
ioctl? Or, do you think we should lump that into the "v2" receive API?

Either way, this seems useful, as right now, we're intertwining process
tree lifetime with manager lifetime. This seems cleaner.
