Dear Paolo,

after you asked, I run a few more "make randconfig; make" rounds, and
found a problem with one of the commits (when using BPF_SYSCALL, NET and
SECCOMP_FILTER). I'll fix the issues and all other that might pop up,
and rerun the randconfig loop many more times to get a better coverage
and higher confidence. I'll update the series afterwards.

Best,
Norbert
