In the next patch, we're going to use the sd pointer passed to
__seccomp_filter() as the data to pass to userspace. Except that in some
cases (__seccomp_filter(SECCOMP_RET_TRACE), emulate_vsyscall(), every time
seccomp is inovked on power, etc.) the sd pointer will be NULL in order to
force seccomp to recompute the register data. Previously this recomputation
happened one level lower, in seccomp_run_filters(); this patch just moves
it up a level higher to __seccomp_filter().

Thanks Oleg for spotting this.

History
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
