[Devel] [PATCH RH7 1/2] Improve vps_dumpable check in __ptrace_may_access()

[Vasily Averin]

__ptrace_may_access() is used when someone tries to
readlink /proc/$PID/ns/$SOMENS and gets -EPERM for kthreads
because they lack task->mm and thus "vps_dumpable" field.

Let's return error only for non-kernel threads and follow usual
restrictions for kernel threads.
