Subject: seccomp: fix the usage of get/put_seccomp_filter() in seccomp_get_filter()

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

commit 66a733ea6b611aecf0119514d2dddab5f9d6c01e upstream.

As Chris explains, get_seccomp_filter() and put_seccomp_filter() can end
up using different filters. Once we drop ->siglock it is possible for
task->seccomp.filter to have been replaced by SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_TSYNC.

Fixes: f8e529ed941b ("seccomp, ptrace: add support for dumping seccomp filters")
