Well, it fixes
proc-relax-proc-tid-timerslack_ns-capability-requirements.patch,
somewhat. And it textually depends on that.

Do we want all of

proc-relax-proc-tid-timerslack_ns-capability-requirements.patch
proc-add-lsm-hook-checks-to-proc-tid-timerslack_ns.patch
proc-fix-timerslack_ns-cap_sys_nice-check-when-adjusting-self.patch

in 4.8? If so, why?
