Subject: [PATCH v2] proc: fix races against execve() of /proc/PID/fd**

fd* files are restricted to the task's owner, and other users may not
get direct access to them.  But one may open any of these files and run
any setuid program, keeping opened file descriptors.  As there are
permission checks on open(), but not on stat(), readdir(), and read(),
operations on the kept file descriptors will not be checked.  It makes
it possible to violate procfs permission model.

Reading fdinfo/* may disclosure current fds' position and flags, reading
directory contents of fdinfo/ and fd/ may disclosure the number of opened
files by the target task.  This information is not sensible per se, but
it can reveal some private information (like length of a password stored in
a file) under certain conditions.

Used existing (un)lock_trace functions to check for ptrace_may_access(),
but instead of using EPERM return code from it use EACCES to be
consistent with existing proc_pid_follow_link()/proc_pid_readlink()
return codes.  If they'd differ, attacker can guess what fds exist by
analyzing stat() return code.  Patched handlers: stat() for fd/*, stat()
and read() for fdindo/*, readdir() and lookup() for fd/ and fdinfo/.

v2 - Rebased to v3.1-rc3.
   - Handle stat() case.
