Subject[PATCH v2 1/3] set_dumpable: fix the theoretical race with itself
set_dumpable() updates MMF_DUMPABLE_MASK in a non-trivial way to
ensure that get_dumpable() can't observe the intermediate state,
but this all can't help if multiple threads call set_dumpable()
at the same time.

And in theory commit_creds()->set_dumpable(SUID_DUMP_ROOT) racing
with sys_prctl()->set_dumpable(SUID_DUMP_DISABLE) can result in
SUID_DUMP_USER.

Change this code to update both bits atomically via cmpxchg().

Note: this assumes that it is safe to mix bitops and cmpxchg. IOW,
if, say, an architecture implements cmpxchg() using the locking
(like arch/parisc/lib/bitops.c does), then it should use the same
locks for set_bit/etc.
