/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().

Use proc_same_open_cred() to detect if the cred of current between
->open() and ->read() have changed, if so then call proc_allow_access()
to check if the original file's opener had enough privileges to access
the /proc's task entries during ->read().
The file's opener cred are obtained by seq_f_cred() on seq_file struct.

The ptrace_may_access() + proc_allow_access() check is performed during
->read() time, where the ptrace_may_access() check should also be
performed during ->open(), however currently this is not the case.

This is due to /procfs ONE files that share the same ->open() function
proc_single_open(). Adding the ptrace_may_access() check to
proc_single_open() might break userspace from accessing other ONE files
like /proc/*/stat and /proc/*/statm.

So just perform the checks during ->read() and if current's cred have
changed, then check the file's opener cred with proc_allow_access().
This will block passing the file descriptor to a more privileged
process (e.g. a suid-exec).
