Subject: [PATCH 09/12] procfs: add permission checks on the file's opener of /proc/*/stat
Some fields of the /proc/*/stat are sensitive fields that need
appropriate protection.
In addition to the classic ptrace_may_access() check. Check if current's
cred have changed between ->open() and ->read(), if so, call
proc_allow_access() to check if the original file's opener had enough
permissions to read these sensitive fields.
The patch also adds a previously missing signal->cred_guard_mutex lock.
This patch does not break userspace since it only hides the fields that
were supposed to be protected.
