So, it turns out this *doesn't* work, and the reason this test was
passing is because of poor hygiene on my part.

Per the documentation in include/linux/errno.h,

/*
 * These should never be seen by user programs.  To return one of ERESTART*
 * codes, signal_pending() MUST be set.  Note that ptrace can observe these
 * at syscall exit tracing, but they will never be left for the debugged user
 * process to see.
 */
#define ERESTARTSYS     512

So basically, if you respond with -ERESTARTSYS with no signal pending, you'll
leak it to userspace. It turns out this is already possible with
SECCOMP_RET_TRAP (and probably ptrace alone, although I didn't try it out),
see the program below.

The question is: do we care? If so, it seems like we may need to handle the
-ERESTARTSYS-style cases even when there is no signal pending. If we don't,
there's precedent for us to just do the same thing as what happens for
SECCOMP_RET_TRACE, but we should probably at least fix the docs.
