[PATCH] exec: Weaken dumpability for secureexec

From: Kees Cook
Date: Tue Jan 02 2018 - 18:21:51 EST


This is a logical revert of:

commit e37fdb785a5f ("exec: Use secureexec for setting dumpability")

This weakens dumpability back to checking only for uid/gid changes in
current (which is useless), but userspace depends on dumpability not
being tied to secureexec.
