Subject: [PATCH] restrict reading from /proc/<pid>/maps to those who share ->mm or can ptrace pid

	Contents of /proc/*/maps is sensitive and may become sensitive
after open() (e.g. if target originally shares our ->mm and later
does exec on suid-root binary).
	Check at read() (actually, ->start() of iterator) time that
mm_struct we'd grabbed and locked is
	* still the ->mm of target
	* equal to reader's ->mm or the target is ptracable by reader.
