We run the kselftest inside a framework (bash/python scripts basically)
and this is what I see (I added a simple `ls -l /proc/pid/fd` in
seccomp_bpf.c after memfd is created):

As we can see memfd has been allocated in a hole (fd=8) and listener
will get fd=18, so checking for sequential fd numbers is not working in
this case.

I agree that my patch doesn't fix 100% of the cases, we may still have
fd holes.

How about getting the allocated fd numbers from /proc/pid/fd and
figuring out the next fd number taking also the holes into account?
