[PATCH] selftests/seccomp: Add simple seccomp overhead benchmark

[Kees Cook]

This attempts to produce a comparison between native getpid() and a
RET_ALLOW-filtered getpid(), to measure the overhead cost of using
seccomp().

As with the other, I'd like this to go via the seccomp tree. Getting an
Ack would be great. :) Thanks!
