Make process personality flags visible in /proc.  Since a process's
personality is potentially sensitive (e.g. READ_IMPLIES_EXEC), make this
file only readable by the process owner.

Please CC userland interface changes to linux-api-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org

Sure, I'd be happy to do that for future stuff.  I don't see this email
address mentioned anywhere in the kernel tree.  It seems like this is
useful information that should go in either MAINTAINERS or better yet
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for it to be discoverable by future
patch-senders -- and somewhere that I can look it up easily later.  :)

It's there, but only as of a few days ago.
