Bug description:
## SRU paperwork
### Rationale
LXC 2.0.5 added support for Seccomp on the s390x architecture for those
kernels that support it. Unfortunately the personality handling for s390x is
wrong and results in the profile being setup twice, causing a failure to start
the container.
This effectively means that LXC 2.0.5 fails out of the box on s390x.
### Test case
With LXC:
- lxc-start -n some-container -F
With LXD:
- lxc start some-container
### Regression potential
Our own testing shows that the fix works perfectly fine. The code change
itself only affects s390x (under ifdef) so can't possibly affect the other
architectures.
The worst that can happen should this fix be wrong is either status
quo (container won't start) or having the container start without
seccomp support (status quo when compared to 2.0.4).
## Original bug report
The s390x host used to Juju testing spontaneously broke today.
The disk filled up, we restarted so that we could remove unused
kernels. We discovered that lxc1 cannot create containers any more.
$ sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu-cloud -n curtis -- -r xenial -a s390x
$ sudo lxc-start -o lxc.log -n curtis
lxc-start: tools/lxc_start.c: main: 344 The container failed to start.
lxc-start: tools/lxc_start.c: main: 346 To get more details, run the
container in foreground mode.
lxc-start: tools/lxc_start.c: main: 348 Additional information can be
obtained by setting the --logfile and --logpriority options.

# <stgraber> sinzui: checking when s390x seccomp support was added to the
# kernel, to see if it's just a missing config in our kernel that'd fix that
# cleanly or if we'd need it backported to 4.4 which would be a bit more
# annoying
# <stgraber> sinzui: config-4.4.0-45-generic is what you're running right?
# <sinzui> stgraber uname-a says 4.4.0-45-generic
# stgraber> sinzui: you can workaround it by putting a file
# with lxc.seccomp=
# in /usr/share/lxc/config/common.conf.d/, that should get you going again
WORK AROUND for LXC 1
# on the s390x-slave
