Subject: [RFC][PATCH v4] 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. It also
allows access to file descriptors for files that have been deleted and
closed but are still mmapped into a process, which can be very useful
for introspection and debugging.

This patch moves the folder out from behind CHECKPOINT_RESTORE, and
removes the CAP_SYS_ADMIN restrictions. With that change alone,
following the links would have required PTRACE_MODE_READ like the
links in /proc/<pid>/fd/*.

However, a discussion on lkml concluded that MODE_READ is not
sufficient, both because write access to the inodes these links point
to allows direct modification of a process's address space, and
because it exposes files that users may have overlooked permissions on
because it was assumed they would be inaccessible (either deleted as
per above, or created via O_TMPFILE).

So, in addition to the above, this patch enforces PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH on
all the map_files operations. Since this is the same check that
determines if access to /proc/<pid>/mem is allowed, it will not allow an
attacker to do anything that was not already possible through that
interface.

Changes in v4:	Return -ESRCH from follow_link() when get_proc_task()
		returns NULL.

Changes in v3:	Changed permission checks to use PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH
		instead of PTRACE_MODE_READ, and added a stub to
		enforce MODE_ATTACH on follow_link() as well.

Changes in v2:	Removed the follow_link() stub that returned -EPERM if
		the caller didn't have CAP_SYS_ADMIN, since the caller
		in my chroot() scenario gets -EACCES anyway.
