Subject: [PATCH 4.13 087/110] fix infoleak in waitid(2)

4.13-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Al Viro <viro@...iv.linux.org.uk>

commit 6c85501f2fabcfc4fc6ed976543d252c4eaf4be9 upstream.

kernel_waitid() can return a PID, an error or 0.  rusage is filled in the first
case and waitid(2) rusage should've been copied out exactly in that case, *not*
whenever kernel_waitid() has not returned an error.  Compat variant shares that
braino; none of kernel_wait4() callers do, so the below ought to fix it.

Reported-and-tested-by: Alexander Potapenko <glider@...gle.com>
Fixes: ce72a16fa705 ("wait4(2)/waitid(2): separate copying rusage to userland")
