Richard W.M. Jones 3e42979e65 procfs: expose umask in /proc/<PID>/status
It's not possible to read the process umask without also modifying it,
which is what umask(2) does.  A library cannot read umask safely,
especially if the main program might be multithreaded.

Add a new status line ("Umask") in /proc/<PID>/status.  It contains the
file mode creation mask (umask) in octal.  It is only shown for tasks
which have task->fs.

This patch is adapted from one originally written by Pierre Carrier.

The use case is that we have endless trouble with people setting weird
umask() values (usually on the grounds of "security"), and then
everything breaking.  I'm on the hook to fix these.  We'd like to add
debugging to our program so we can dump out the umask in debug reports.

Previous versions of the patch used a syscall so you could only read
your own umask.  That's all I need.  However there was quite a lot of
push-back from those, so this new version exports it in /proc.

See:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/4/13/487 [getumask]
