Subject: [PATCH v2] proc: show personality via /proc/pid/personality

Make process personality flags visible in /proc.  Since a process's
personality is potentially sensitive (e.g. READ_IMPLIES_EXEC), make this
file only readable by the process owner.

Please revert the prior patch against the "status" file -- this is the
