    Bug 23915: 7.0.7 and later fails to work without `SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_TSYNC`.
    
    This is more fallout from #20773, that only manifests on systems running
    kernels that pre-date 3.17 (Debian oldstable).  The "better" fix might
    be to only engage the workaround if `SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_TSYNC` isn't
    supported.
