fanotify: Disallow permission events for proc filesystem
Proc filesystem has special locking rules for various files. Thus
fanotify which opens files on event delivery can easily deadlock
against another process that waits for fanotify permission event to be
handled. Since permission events on /proc have doubtful value anyway,
just disallow them.
