Subject: [PATCH] Lower the ptrace permissions so that the memfd_secrect
 test program runs without an issue.



---
On Ubuntu and probably other distros, ptrace permissions are tightend a
bit by default; i.e., /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_score is set to 1.
This cases memfd_secret's ptrace attach test fails with a permission
error. Set it to 0 piror to running the program.
