run: Handle unknown syscalls as intended

Browse Source 
The error-handling here was

    if (r < 0 && r == -EFAULT)

but Alex says it was almost certainly intended to be

    if (r < 0 && r != -EFAULT)

so that syscalls not known to libseccomp are not a fatal error.

Instead of literally making that change, emit a debug message on -EFAULT
so we can see what is going on.

This temporarily weakens our defence against CVE-2021-41133
(GHSA-67h7-w3jq-vh4q) in order to avoid regressions: if the installed
version of libseccomp does not know about the recently-added syscalls,
but the kernel does, then we will not prevent non-native executables
from using those syscalls.
