[PATCH 2/3] prctl_set_mm: Refactor checks from validate_prctl_map

From: Michal KoutnÃ
Date: Tue Apr 30 2019 - 04:19:36 EST


Despite comment of validate_prctl_map claims there are no capability
checks, it is not completely true since commit 4d28df6152aa ("prctl:
Allow local CAP_SYS_ADMIN changing exe_file"). Extract the check out of
the function and make the function perform purely arithmetic checks.

This patch should not change any behavior, it is mere refactoring for
following patch.
