Jann reported that the ptrace_may_access() check in find_lively_task_by_vpid() is racy against exec(). Specifically: perf_event_open() execve() ptrace_may_access() commit_creds() ... if (get_dumpable() != SUID_DUMP_USER) perf_event_exit_task(); perf_install_in_context() would result in installing a counter across the creds boundary. Fix this by wrapping lots of perf_event_open() in cred_guard_mutex. This should be fine as perf_event_exit_task() is already called with cred_guard_mutex held, so all perf locks already nest inside it.
