seccomp: don't leave dangling ->notif if file allocation fails
Christian and Kees both pointed out that this is a bit sloppy to open-code both places, and Christian points out that we leave a dangling pointer to ->notif if file allocation fails. Since we check ->notif for null in order to determine if it's ok to install a filter, this means people won't be able to install a filter if the file allocation fails for some reason, even if they subsequently should be able to. To fix this, let's hoist this free+null into its own little helper and use it.
