[PATCH v2] selftests/seccomp: Unconditionally define seccomp_metadata

From: Luke Nowakowski-Krijger
Date: Thu Dec 02 2021 - 21:06:59 EST


Unconditonally define seccomp_metadata and remove the linux/ptrace.h
include.

There are conflicts between glibc system headers sys/ptrace.h and
linux/ptrace.h that can likely cause seccomp_metadata to not be
defined depending on what system header versions are installed,
leading to compile errors. This fix makes this test more likely to
compile on a wider variety of systems.

v2 + resend:
Added comment to explain why there is a header definiton being
defined in the file and to suggest to future developers that they
might have to do the same for future fixes for definition issues like
this.
