Subject: [PATCH v2 6/9] 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.

However, /proc file descriptors can be passed to a more privileged
process (e.g. a suid-exec) which will pass the classic
ptrace_may_access() permission check during read().

To prevent it, use proc_same_open_cred() to detect 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. This will prevent passing
file descriptors to a more privileged process to leak data.

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.
