My one worry about this is that the behaviour should be if the input
(seccomp_notif) is invalid, it should immediately bail out, whether
or not there is an event waiting. If we add it to basic_test, then
it would hide the erroneous behaviour if bailout isn't immediate.

I'm not sure if that's a worry or not.
