[PATCH 1/5] kernel: add a new helper to execute system calls from kernel code

[Andrei Vagin]

This helper will be used to implement a kvm hypercall to call host
system calls.

The new helper executes seccomp rules and calls trace_sys_{enter,exit}
hooks. But it intentionally doesn't call ptrace hooks because calling
syscalls are not linked with the current process state.
