[PATCH] Allow MAP_NORESERVE in sandbox seccomp filter maps

While debugging Scudo on ChromeOS, we found that the no reserve mode
immediately crashed `sshd`. We tracked it down to the
sandbox-seccomp-filter.
Being able to mmap with MAP_NORESERVE is useful (if not necessary) for
some overcommitting allocators.
During mmap calls, the flag MAP_NORESERVE is used by some allocators
such as LLVM's Scudo for layout optimisation. This causes the sandbox
seccomp filter for the client subprocess to die with some Scudo
configurations.
