PTRACE_GETFD is a generic ptrace API that allows the tracer to
get file descriptors from the traceee.

The primary reason to use this syscall is to allow sandboxers to
take action on an FD on behalf of the tracee. For example, this
can be combined with seccomp's user notification feature to extract
a file descriptor and call privileged syscalls, like binding
a socket to a privileged port.
