Subject[PATCH v2] proc: fix a race in do_io_accounting()
There is a ptrace_may_access() check in do_io_accounting() to prevent
gathering information of setuid'ed and similar binaries. However, there
is a race against execve(). Holding task->signal->cred_guard_mutex
while gathering the information should protect against the race.

The order of locking is similar to the one inside of
ptrace_attach(): first goes cred_guard_mutex, then lock_task_sighand().

v2 - use mutex_lock_killable() instead of mutex_lock().
