Subject: [PATCH 3.10 14/80] proc: Fix ptrace-based permission checks for accessing task maps

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Corey Wright <undefined@...ox.com>

Modify mm_access() calls in fs/proc/task_mmu.c and fs/proc/task_nommu.c to
have the mode include PTRACE_MODE_FSCREDS so accessing /proc/pid/maps and
/proc/pid/pagemap is not denied to all users.

In backporting upstream commit caaee623 to pre-3.18 kernel versions it was
overlooked that mm_access() is used in fs/proc/task_*mmu.c as those calls
were removed in 3.18 (by upstream commit 29a40ace) and did not exist at the
time of the original commit.
