fs/proc/task_mmu.c: shift mm_access() from m_start() to proc_maps_open()



A simple test-case from Kirill Shutemov

	cat /proc/self/maps >/dev/null
	chmod +x /proc/self/net/packet
	exec /proc/self/net/packet

makes lockdep unhappy, cat/exec take seq_file->lock + cred_guard_mutex in
the opposite order.

It's a false positive and probably we should not allow "chmod +x" on proc
files. Still I think that we should avoid mm_access() and cred_guard_mutex
in sys_read() paths, security checking should happen at open time. Besides,
this doesn't even look right if the task changes its ->mm between m_stop()
and m_start().

Add the new "mm_struct *mm" member into struct proc_maps_private and change
proc_maps_open() to initialize it using proc_mem_open(). Change m_start() to
use priv->mm if atomic_inc_not_zero(mm_users) succeeds or return NULL (eof)
otherwise.

The only complication is that proc_maps_open() users should additionally do
mmdrop() in fop->release(), add the new proc_map_release() helper for that.

Note: this is the user-visible change, if the task execs after open("maps")
the new ->mm won't be visible via this file. I hope this is fine, and this
matches /proc/pid/mem bahaviour.
