proc: Move fdinfo PTRACE_MODE_READ check into the inode .permission operation

The following commits loosened the permissions of /proc/<PID>/fdinfo/
directory, as well as the files within it, from 0500 to 0555 while also
introducing a PTRACE_MODE_READ check between the current task and
<PID>'s task:

 - commit 7bc3fa0 ("procfs: allow reading fdinfo with PTRACE_MODE_READ")
 - commit 1927e49 ("procfs: prevent unprivileged processes accessing fdinfo dir")

Before those changes, inode based system calls like inotify_add_watch(2)
would fail when the current task didn't have sufficient read permissions:

 [...]
 lstat("/proc/1/task/1/fdinfo", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0500, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
 inotify_add_watch(64, "/proc/1/task/1/fdinfo",
		   IN_MODIFY|IN_ATTRIB|IN_MOVED_FROM|IN_MOVED_TO|IN_CREATE|IN_DELETE|
		   IN_ONLYDIR|IN_DONT_FOLLOW|IN_EXCL_UNLINK) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
 [...]

This matches the documented behavior in the inotify_add_watch(2) man
page:

 ERRORS
       EACCES Read access to the given file is not permitted.

After those changes, inotify_add_watch(2) started succeeding despite the
current task not having PTRACE_MODE_READ privileges on the target task:

 [...]
 lstat("/proc/1/task/1/fdinfo", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0555, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
 inotify_add_watch(64, "/proc/1/task/1/fdinfo",
		   IN_MODIFY|IN_ATTRIB|IN_MOVED_FROM|IN_MOVED_TO|IN_CREATE|IN_DELETE|
		   IN_ONLYDIR|IN_DONT_FOLLOW|IN_EXCL_UNLINK) = 1757
 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/1/task/1/fdinfo",
	O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_CLOEXEC|O_DIRECTORY) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
 [...]

This change in behavior broke .NET prior to v7. See the github link
below for the v7 commit that inadvertently/quietly (?) fixed .NET after
the kernel changes mentioned above.

Return to the old behavior by moving the PTRACE_MODE_READ check out of
the file .open operation and into the inode .permission operation:

 [...]
 lstat("/proc/1/task/1/fdinfo", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0555, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
 inotify_add_watch(64, "/proc/1/task/1/fdinfo",
		   IN_MODIFY|IN_ATTRIB|IN_MOVED_FROM|IN_MOVED_TO|IN_CREATE|IN_DELETE|
		   IN_ONLYDIR|IN_DONT_FOLLOW|IN_EXCL_UNLINK) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
 [...]
