    fs, proc: fix ABBA deadlock in case of execution attempt of map_files/ entries · eb94cd96

    map_files/ entries are never supposed to be executed, still curious
    minds might try to run them, which leads to the following deadlock
    
      ======================================================
      [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
      3.4.0-rc4-24406-g841e6a6 #121 Not tainted
      -------------------------------------------------------
      bash/1556 is trying to acquire lock:
       (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#8){+.+.+.}, at: do_lookup+0x267/0x2b1
    
      but task is already holding lock:
       (&sig->cred_guard_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: prepare_bprm_creds+0x2d/0x69
    
      which lock already depends on the new lock.
    
      the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
    
      -> #1 (&sig->cred_guard_mutex){+.+.+.}:

             stub_execve+0x6c/0xc0
    
    This is because prepare_bprm_creds grabs task->signal->cred_guard_mutex
    and when do_lookup happens we try to grab task->signal->cred_guard_mutex
    again in lock_trace.
    
    Fix it using plain ptrace_may_access() helper in proc_map_files_lookup()
    and in proc_map_files_readdir() instead of lock_trace(), the caller must
    be CAP_SYS_ADMIN granted anyway.
