[PATCH 01/26] ptrace: export ptrace_may_access

[Mika Kuoppala <mika.kuoppala@linux.intel.com>]

xe driver would like to allow fine grained access control
for GDB debugger using ptrace. Without this export, the only
option would be to check for CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

The check intended for an ioctl to attach a GPU debugger
is similar to the ptrace use case: allow a calling process
to manipulate a target process if it has the necessary
capabilities or the same permissions, as described in
Documentation/process/adding-syscalls.rst.

Export ptrace_may_access function to allow GPU debugger to
have identical access control for debugger(s)
as a CPU debugger.
