Bug description:
  The seccomp regression tests are failing due to SRU kernels not having
  the relevant commit:

      seccomp: cap SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO data to MAX_ERRNO

      The value resulting from the SECCOMP_RET_DATA mask could exceed MAX_ERRNO
      when setting errno during a SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO filter action.  This makes
      sure we have a reliable value being set, so that an invalid errno will not
      be ignored by userspace.

  SRU Justification

      Impact:
          Upstream regression tests are reporting errors.

      Test Case:
          Run the upstream regression tests and verify they are passing
          cleanly.
