make seccomp zerocost in schedule
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This follows a suggestion from Chuck Ebbert on how to make seccomp
absolutely zerocost in schedule too.  The only remaining footprint of
seccomp is in terms of the bzImage size that becomes a few bytes (perhaps
even a few kbytes) larger, measure it if you care in the embedded.
