Oh, it's set_robust_list(), it's normal that exit_group() doesn't
return. That new usage probably comes from:
	https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=9a7565403758f65c07fe3705e966381d9cfd35b6

and that code path is not really needed for passt, so I would have a
quick try at avoiding it rather than adding a syscall, perhaps with a
small replacement of daemon() using clone() instead of fork().

Meanwhile, this should work for you:
