[PATCH 3.16 188/192] sched: move no_new_privs into new atomic flags

[Ben Hutchings]

3.16.49-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 1d4457f99928a968767f6405b4a1f50845aa15fd upstream.

Since seccomp transitions between threads requires updates to the
no_new_privs flag to be atomic, the flag must be part of an atomic flag
set. This moves the nnp flag into a separate task field, and introduces
accessors.
