Stupid question, why not

	#define PTRACE_EVENT_SYSCALL_ENTRY	8
	#define PTRACE_EVENT_SYSCALL_EXIT	9

right after other PTRACE_EVENT_* constants?

The next 3/3 tries to detect PTRACE_EVENT_SECCOMP case anyway, so I am not sure
I understand what "do not appear in task->ptrace_message by other means" actually
means...
