[PATCH v2 4/9] procfs: make /proc/*/{stack,syscall} 0400

[Djalal Harouni]

The /proc/*/{stack,syscall} contain sensitive information and currently
its mode is 0444. Change this to 0400 so the VFS will be able to block
unprivileged processes from getting file descriptors on arbitrary
privileged /proc/*/{stack,syscall} files.

This will also avoid doing extra unnecessary ptrace checks.
