BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1690225

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.

Clean cherry pick, has been upstream since 4.7.

The bug report is lacking the normal SRU bullet points such as
"regression potential" and a "test case".  However, this is an upstream
fix to a known issue and as Seth pointed out has been around since 4.7,
so I won't quibble on this.  Perhaps the bug report can be updated in
accordance with the SRU Policy, e.g.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

Fix looks sane, so..
