[PATCH] proc filesystem (2/3): add umask option

[rene . scharfe]

This patch adds the umask option to the proc filesystem.  It's
essentially unchanged from the previous version, except that the mount
option has to be specified as a kernel parameter now.  This way we avoid
dealing with pre-existing inodes.

The umask can be used to restrict the permissions of process information
in /proc (the numerical directories and the files within them).  No other
file or directory should be affected.

Al, there was a big IF in your comment regarding the previous version.  
Do you have general objections against the umask feature or its
usefulness?

Thanks,
Rene
