seccomp_bpf fails on powerpc

[Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo]

[Impact]
seccomp_bpf test fails on powerpc and ends up being disabled on some series, or causing engineers to waste their time verifying the same failures are the only ones we see every kernel release.

[Test case]
Run the test and notice there are no more failures.

[Regression potential]
We may break the test on different architectures. That doesn't break users, though, as the changes are only on tests. It has been tested at least on ppc64el and amd64.
