proc: fix timerslack_ns CAP_SYS_NICE check when adjusting self
In changing from checking ptrace_may_access(p, PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS)
to capable(CAP_SYS_NICE), I missed that ptrace_my_access succeeds when p
== current, but the CAP_SYS_NICE doesn't.
Thus while the previous commit was intended to loosen the needed
privileges to modify a processes timerslack, it needlessly restricted a
task modifying its own timerslack via the proc/<tid>/timerslack_ns
(which is permitted also via the PR_SET_TIMERSLACK method).
This patch corrects this by checking if p == current before checking the
CAP_SYS_NICE value.
This patch applies on top of my two previous patches currently in -mm
