Subject: [PATCH] proc: prevent a task from writing on its own /proc/*/mem
Prevent a task from opening, in "write" mode, any /proc/*/mem
file that operates on the task's mm.
/proc/*/mem is mainly a debugging means and, as such, it shouldn't
be used by the inspected process itself.
Current implementation always allow a task to access its own
/proc/*/mem file.
A process can use it to overwrite read-only memory, making
pointless the use of security_file_mprotect() or other ways to
enforce RO memory.
