Document SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_TSYNC_ESRCH flag, which allows to
use SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_TSYNC and SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_NEW_LISTENER
flags together by returning ESRCH on synchronization error instead
of the thread ID.

I expect that in user space, we'll see -1 in the return value, and ESRCH
in errno, right?  If so, we should say "Fail with ESRCH ...".
Yes, exactly. Probably worth changing the wording in the commit
message as well.
