procfs: mem permission cleanup
This cleans up the permission checks done for /proc/PID/mem i/o calls. It
puts all the logic in a new function, check_mem_permission().
The old code repeated the (!MAY_PTRACE(task) || !ptrace_may_attach(task))
magical expression multiple times. The new function does all that work in one
place, with clear comments.
The old code called security_ptrace() twice on successful checks, once in
MAY_PTRACE() and once in __ptrace_may_attach(). Now it's only called once,
and only if all other checks have succeeded.
