seccomp: Document two-phase seccomp and arch-provided seccomp_data

The description of how archs should implement seccomp filters was
still strictly correct, but it failed to describe the newly
available optimizations.

- seccomp syscall wired up
For best performance, an arch should use seccomp_phase1 and
seccomp_phase2 directly. It should call seccomp_phase1 for all
syscalls if TIF_SECCOMP is set, but seccomp_phase1 does not
need to be called from a ptrace-safe context. It must then
call seccomp_phase2 if seccomp_phase1 returns anything other
than SECCOMP_PHASE1_OK or SECCOMP_PHASE1_SKIP.
As an additional optimization, an arch may provide seccomp_data
directly to seccomp_phase1; this avoids multiple calls
to the syscall_xyz helpers for every syscall.
