ptrace: require CAP_SYS_PTRACE when task has no mm
kABI-safe AlmaLinux backport of upstream commit 31e62c2ebbfd
("ptrace: slightly saner 'get_dumpable()' logic"). The upstream
fix adds a user_dumpable bit to task_struct and caches it from
exit_mm() -- both layout changes would break the kABI signature
of struct task_struct (referenced by stablelist exports such as
set_cpus_allowed_ptr and wake_up_process).
Instead, take the minimal kABI-safe slice: in __ptrace_may_access(),
when task->mm == NULL, require CAP_SYS_PTRACE in init_user_ns
unconditionally. This closes the Qualys Security Advisory hole
without touching task_struct or exit.c. The only behavioural
delta versus upstream is that an already-exited user task whose
mm has been cleared now also requires CAP_SYS_PTRACE.
