Subject: [RFC][PATCH] procfs: Always expose /proc/<pid>/map_files/ and make
 it readable

Currently, /proc/<pid>/map_files/ is restricted to CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and
is only exposed if CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is set. This interface
is very useful for enumerating the files mapped into a process when
the more verbose information in /proc/<pid>/maps is not needed.

This patch moves the folder out from behind CHECKPOINT_RESTORE, and
removes the CAP_SYS_ADMIN restrictions. To avoid exposing files to
processes for whom they may not be visible, a follow_link() stub is
added to the inode_operations struct attached to the symlinks that
prevent them from being followed without CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
