This patchset introduces a new operation and a new flag
to split the SECCOMP_SET_MODE_FILTER process into two steps:
load filter and attach filter. Thus we can reuse the filter.

The new SECCOMP_LOAD_FILTER loads the filter and returns a fd
which can be reused for different processes via UDS.
With this new operation, we can eliminate a hot path of JITing
BPF program (the filter) where we apply the same seccomp filter
to thousands of micro VMs on a bare metal instance.

The new flag SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_FILTER_FD is used to attach
a filter which is loaded via SECCOMP_LOAD_FILTER and represented
by a seccomp filter fd.

Change logs:
  v2 -> v3:
    - Stick to cBPF, don't interfere with bpffs

  v1 -> v2:
    - Add a flag to attach filter from fd
    - Update selftests

  RFC -> v1:
    - Addressed comments from Kees
    - Reuse filter copy/create code (patch 1)
    - Add a selftest (patch 4)
