Why? __fput() is not possible if there is another user of this file sleeping
in seccomp_notify_poll().

Hmm, this looks wrong... we can't kfree ->notif if its ->notifications list
is not empty, otherwise seccomp_do_user_notification()->list_del(&n.list)
can write to the freed memory.

I think _release() should do list_for_each_entry_safe() + list_del_init()
and seccomp_do_user_notification() should use list_del_init() too.

Or, simpler, seccomp_do_user_notification() should do

	if (!match->notif)
		goto out;

instead of "goto remove_list".
