Subject: [PATCH v2] procfs: Prevent unpriveleged processes accessing fdinfo dir

The file permissions on the fdinfo dir from were changed from
S_IRUSR|S_IXUSR to S_IRUGO|S_IXUGO, and a PTRACE_MODE_READ check was
added for opening the fdinfo files [1]. However, the ptrace permission
check was not added to the directory, allowing anyone to get the open FD
numbers by reading the fdinfo directory.

Add the missing ptrace permission check for opening the fdinfo directory.

v1 of this patch was posted at:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210708155647.44208-1-kaleshsingh@google.com/

Changes in v2:
 - Drop the ptrace checks from read and lseek ops. The problem of accessing
   already opened files after a suid exec is pre-existing and not unique to
   fdinfo. Needs to be addressed separately in a more generic way.
