What will happen if CRIU dies and clears ->ptrace right before
syscall_user_dispatch() checks PT_SUSPEND_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH ?

How the tracee will react to SIGSYS with unexpected .si_syscall ?

Agreed, so the case when CRIU will need to do the additional
PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH_CONFIG twice to disable and then re-enable
syscall_user_dispatch is unlikely.

I too won't argue too much. but so far I do not feel there is enough
justification for this feature ...
