Subject: [PATCH 08/12] procfs: add permission checks on the file's opener of /proc/*/personality

If current's cred have changed between ->open() and ->read(), then call
proc_allow_access() to check if the original file's opener had enough
permissions to access the /proc/*/personality entry during ->read().
