procfs: fix pthread cross-thread naming if !PR_DUMPABLE

Browse Source 
The PR_DUMPABLE flag causes the pid related paths of the proc file
system to be owned by ROOT.

The implementation of pthread_set/getname_np however needs access to
/proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/comm.  If PR_DUMPABLE is false this
implementation is locked out.

This patch installs a special permission function for the file "comm"
that grants read and write access to all threads of the same group
regardless of the ownership of the inode.  For all other threads the
function falls back to the generic inode permission check.

* proc_tid_comm_permission is a special permission function exclusively

* The rationale behind this is that glibc and bionic access this node for
* cross thread naming (pthread_set/getname_np(!self)). However, if
* PR_SET_DUMPABLE gets set to 0 this node among others becomes uid=0 gid=0,
* which locks out the cross thread naming implementation.
* This function makes sure that the node is always accessible for members of
* same thread group.
