commit: e70ab977991964a5a7ad1182799451d067e62669

Subject: proc connector: reject unprivileged listener bumps
While PROC_CN_MCAST_LISTEN/IGNORE is entirely advisory, it was possible
for an unprivileged user to turn off notifications for all listeners by
sending PROC_CN_MCAST_IGNORE. Instead, require the same privileges as
required for a multicast bind.
