Quick question -- is it possible to apply the first filter and also synchronize
it across threads in the same operation?  If so, does this arm also need to
cope with seccomp.mode being SECCOMP_MODE_DISABLED?

[seccomp_set_mode_filter() looks to call this via seccomp_attach_filter()
before it does seccomp_assign_mode()]
