Add a matching sysctl to go with CONFIG_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH. kernel.syscall_user_dispatch (default 1 - allow) controls whether userspace may arm syscall user dispatch (both via prctl and ptrace). Disarming is always permitted - same semantics as comparable knobs. Disabling while a task has armed syscall user dispatch does not cause it to become inactive - instead it remains active until the user attempts to disable/re-enable via prctl or ptrace. On the next attempt to re-enable, the prctl/ptrace call fails gracefully. The alternative would cause programs translating non-linux syscalls to interpret those syscalls as linux syscalls, resulting in undefined userland behavior.
