prctl: fix PR_SET_MM_AUXV kernel stack leak
Doing a
prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_AUXV, addr, 1);
will copy 1 byte from userspace to (quite big) on-stack array
and then stash everything to mm->saved_auxv.
AT_NULL terminator will be inserted at the very end.
/proc/*/auxv handler will find that AT_NULL terminator
and copy original stack contents to userspace.
This devious scheme requires CAP_SYS_RESOURCE.
