Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] prctl_set_mm: Refactor checks from validate_prctl_map

Despite comment of validate_prctl_map claims there are no capability
checks, it is not completely true since commit 4d28df6152aa ("prctl:
Allow local CAP_SYS_ADMIN changing exe_file"). Extract the check out of
the function and make the function perform purely arithmetic checks.

This patch should not change any behavior, it is mere refactoring for
following patch.

v1, v2: ---
v3: Remove unused mm variable from validate_prctl_map_addr
