Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] procfs: make /proc/*/pagemap 0400

The /proc/*/pagemap contain sensitive information and currently its
mode is 0444. Change this to 0400, so the VFS will prevent unprivileged
processes from getting file descriptors on arbitrary privileged
/proc/*/pagemap files.

This reduces the scope of address space leaking and bypasses by
protecting already running processes.
