proc: save 2 atomic ops on write to "/proc/*/attr/*"

Code checks if write is done by current to its own attributes.
For that get/put pair is unnecessary as it can be done under RCU.

Note: rcu_read_unlock() can be done even earlier since pointer to a task
is not dereferenced. It depends if /proc code should look scary or not:

	rcu_read_lock();
	task = pid_task(...);
	rcu_read_unlock();
	if (!task)
		return -ESRCH;
	if (task != current)
		return -EACCESS:

P.S.: rename "length" variable.	Code like this

	length = -EINVAL;

should not exist.
