4.2.8-ckt4 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Jann Horn <jann@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 103502a35cfce0710909da874f092cb44823ca03 upstream.

Before this patch, a process with some permissive seccomp filter
that was applied by root without NO_NEW_PRIVS was able to add
more filters to itself without setting NO_NEW_PRIVS by setting
the new filter from a throwaway thread with NO_NEW_PRIVS.
