return NULL unconditionally. If you want different behavior, make it
a separate patch to be reviewed separately.

NAK. Doesn't work right in containers. *Maybe* it would be okay to
have a helper that returns the uid/gid in the namespace of the filter
creator, but that's not what this does.

NAK. This would need a very clear use case that makes it worthwhile.
As it stands, it interferes with CRIU for no obvious good reason.

NAK. This helper is cryptographically insecure in that it surely
allows one user to figure out the entire random number stream of
another and, worse, it could be abused to allow one user to *control*
the stream of another user. Read the code in bpf_user_rnd_u32.
If there is a legitimate reason to allow random number generation in
seccomp eBPF programs, it can be its own patch, and it needs, at the
very least, the properties that a filter's stream of random bytes is
unpredictable and uncontrollable by anyone else. Realistically, this
means you need the arch_random stuff or the actual get_random_bytes()
interface.

NAK for the same reason as get_current_uid_gid.
But Tycho: would hooking user notifiers in right here work for you?
As I see it, this would be the best justification for seccomp eBPF.
