Subject: [PATCH 4/9] procfs: improve /proc/<pid>/wchan protection

Convert wchan from an INF entry to a REG one. This way we can perform
and cache the permission checks during ->open().

The checks are only cached, since /proc/<pid>/wchan is world readable,
and it needs permissions only when returning an address, returning the
symbol name is not subject to permission checks, so do not change this.

With this logic userspace should continue to work without any problem,
only cases where users are trying to play tricks or something
sophisticated is trying to use privileged programs to disclose sensitive
data will notice.
