    seccomp: use SIGSYS signal instead of killing the thread

    The seccomp action SCMP_ACT_KILL results in immediate termination of
    the thread that made the bad system call. However, qemu being
    multi-threaded, it keeps running. There is no easy way for parent
    process / management layer (libvirt) to know about that situation.

    Instead, the default SIGSYS handler when invoked with SCMP_ACT_TRAP
    will terminate the program and core dump.

    This may not be the most secure solution, but probably better than
    just killing the offending thread. SCMP_ACT_KILL_PROCESS has been
    added in Linux 4.14 to improve the situation, which I propose to use
    by default if available in the next patch.
