CRED: Guard the setprocattr security hook against ptrace
Guard the setprocattr security hook against ptrace by taking the target task's
cred_guard_mutex around it. The problem is that setprocattr() may otherwise
note the lack of a debugger, and then perform an action on that basis whilst
letting a debugger attach between the two points. Holding cred_guard_mutex
across the test and the action prevents ptrace_attach() from doing that.
