It's useful to see how much (at a minimum) each filter adds to the
syscall overhead. Add additional calculations.

As part of the performance discussions, this is what I'm adding to the
seccomp selftest in for-next/seccomp to get more details.

This does not include the BPF-bypass mode, which I don't see a way to
do without creating major problems with seccomp. ;)
