do_wait: return security_task_wait() error code in place of -ECHILD

This reverts the effect of commit f2cc3eb1
"do_wait: fix security checks".  That change reverted the effect of commit
73243284

.  The rationale for the original
commit still stands.  The inconsistent treatment of children hidden by
ptrace was an unintended omission in the original change and in no way
invalidates its purpose.

This makes do_wait return the error returned by security_task_wait()
(usually -EACCES) in place of -ECHILD when there are some children the
caller would be able to wait for if not for the permission failure.  A
permission error will give the user a clue to look for security policy
problems, rather than for mysterious wait bugs.
