[GIT PULL] Minor ptrace fixes for v5.2-rc5

[Eric W. Biederman]

Linus,

Please pull the for-linus branch from the git tree:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace.git for-linus

   HEAD:f6581f5b55141a95657ef5742cf6a6bfa20a109f ptrace: restore smp_rmb() in __ptrace_may_access()

This is just two very minor fixes.  Preventing ptrace from reading
unitialized kernel memory found twice by syzkaller, and restoring a
missing smp_rmb in ptrace_may_access and commening it so it is not
removed by accident again.

Apologies for being a little slow about getting this to you, I am still
figuring out how to develop with a little baby in the house.

Heh. It gets better as they age. In just a couple of decades, you'll
find they have it all figured out..
