[PATCH -mm] prctl: Use CAP_SYS_RESOURCE for PR_SET_MM option

[PATCH -mm] prctl: Use CAP_SYS_RESOURCE for PR_SET_MM option

[Cyrill Gorcunov]

CAP_SYS_ADMIN is already overloaded left and right,
so to have more fine-grained access control use
CAP_SYS_RESOURCE here.

The CAP_SYS_RESOUCE is chosen because this prctl
option allows a current process to adjust some
fields of memory map descriptor which rather
represents what the process owns: pointers to
code, data, stack segments, command line,
auxiliary vector data and etc.
