    ptrace: slightly saner get_dumpable() logic

    Backport of upstream commit 31e62c2ebbfd ("ptrace: slightly saner
    'get_dumpable()' logic") posted by Linus Torvalds in response to a
    Qualys Security Advisory. ptrace_may_access() no longer trusts an
    absent mm as 'dumpable enough'; mm-less targets (kernel threads,
    exited tasks) now require CAP_SYS_PTRACE. A new user_dumpable bit
    in task_struct caches the last user-dumpable state of a task whose
    mm has been torn down in exit_mm().

    Applies to AlmaLinux 10 as-is (offset-only, no fuzz).
