Return EPERM not ECHILD on security_task_wait failure
wait* syscalls return -ECHILD even when an individual PID of a live child
was requested explicitly, when security_task_wait denies the operation.
This means that something like a broken SELinux policy can produce an
unexpected failure that looks just like a bug with wait or ptrace or
something.
This patch makes do_wait return -EACCES (or other appropriate error returned
from security_task_wait() instead of -ECHILD if some children were ruled out
solely because security_task_wait failed.
[jmorris@namei.org: switch error code to EACCES]
