[PATCH v6 6/7] prctl: exe link permission error changed from -EINVAL to -EPERM

From: Adrian Reber
Date: Sun Jul 19 2020 - 06:06:26 EST


From: Nicolas Viennot <Nicolas.Viennot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

This brings consistency with the rest of the prctl() syscall where
-EPERM is returned when failing a capability check.
