The "RETURN VALUE" section made a claim that was incorrect for PTRACE_SECCOMP_GET_FILTER. Explicitly describe the behavior of PTRACE_SECCOMP_GET_FILTER in the "RETURN VALUE" section (as usual), but leave the now duplicate description in the section describing PTRACE_SECCOMP_GET_FILTER, since the PTRACE_SECCOMP_GET_FILTER section would otherwise probably become harder to understand.
