SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_RECV promptly returns when a seccomp filter becomes
unused, as a filter without users can't trigger any events.
Previously, event listeners had to rely on epoll to detect when all
processes had exited.
The change is based on the 'commit 99cdb8b9a573 ("seccomp: notify about
unused filter")' which implemented (E)POLLHUP notifications.

Hi Andrei,
the patch looks good to me even if I don't really understand what
SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_RECV does. But let me ask a stupid question,

To me this patch fixes the commit above, because without this change

__seccomp_filter_orphan() -> wake_up_poll(&orig->wqh, EPOLLHUP) won't
wakeup the task sleeping in recv_wait_event(), right ?
In any case, FWIW

It depends on how we look at it. I think the intention was to address
the epoll/poll/select syscalls to return (E)POLLHUP notifications when
filters have been orphaned. Plus, this code looked a bit different that
time and recv_wake_function used another notification mechanism.
