[PATCH] procfs: expose umask in /proc/<PID>/status

["Richard W.M. Jones" <rjones@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It's not possible to read the process umask without also modifying it,
which is what umask(2) does.  A library cannot read umask safely,
especially if the main program might be multithreaded.

Add a new status line ("Umask") in /proc/<PID>/status.  It contains
the file mode creation mask (umask) in octal.  It is only shown for
tasks which have task->fs.

This patch is adapted from one originally written by Pierre Carrier.
