[patch 02/23] Dont allow chmod() on the /proc/<pid>/ files

[Greg KH]

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Don't allow chmod() on the /proc/<pid>/ files

This just turns off chmod() on the /proc/<pid>/ files, since there is no
good reason to allow it, and had we disallowed it originally, the nasty
/proc race exploit wouldn't have been possible.

The other patches already fixed the problem chmod() could cause, so this
is really just some final mop-up..

This particular version is based off a patch by Eugene and Marcel which
had much better naming than my original equivalent one.
