** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+ Test fails to build in selftests/seccomp/seccomp_bpf.c with
+ 'error: storage size of ‘md’ isn’t known' due to the type
+ struct seccomp_metadata not being defined for B/5.4 kernels.
+ 
+ [Test case]
+ 
+ Test successfully builds and test cases pass both on Bionic/5.4 and on
+ Focal
+ 
+ [Fixes]
+ 
+ Unconditionally define struct seccomp_metadata.
+ Remove linux/ptrace.h where a definition of seccomp_metadata is already being
+ defined in Focal.
+ 
+ [Potential regression]
+ 
+ There could be future build failures if glibc headers get updated to
+ include definitions of struct seccomp_metadata or if linux/ptrace.h gets 
updated
+ to include needed definitions.
