Subject: [PATCH 5/6] proc: use task_access_lock() instead of ptrace_may_access()

There are several places in fs/proc/base.c still use ptrace_may_access()
directly to check the permission, actually this just gets a snapshot of
the permission, nothing prevents the target task from raising the priviledges
itself, it is better to use task_access_lock() for these places, to hold
the priviledges.
