[PATCH v13 1/3] syscall_user_dispatch: helper function to operate on given task

From: Gregory Price
Date: Wed Mar 01 2023 - 15:58:59 EST


Preparatory patch ahead of set/get interfaces which will allow a
ptrace to get/set the syscall user dispatch configuration of a task.

This will simplify the set interface and consolidates error paths.
