For both pidfd and seccomp, the __user pointer is not used. Update __receive_fd() to make writing to ufd optional via a NULL check. However, for the receive_fd_user() wrapper, ufd is NULL checked so an -EFAULT can be returned to avoid changing the SCM_RIGHTS interface behavior. Add new wrapper receive_fd() for pidfd and seccomp that does not use the ufd argument. For the new helper, the allocated fd needs to be returned on success. Update the existing callers to handle it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
