Commit bfb819ea20ce ("proc: Check /proc/$pid/attr/ writes against file opener") tried to make sure that there could not be a confusion between the opener of a /proc/$pid/attr/ file and the writer. It used struct cred to make sure the privileges didn't change. However, there were existing cases where a more privileged thread was passing the opened fd to a differently privileged thread (during container setup). Instead, use mm_struct to track whether the opener and writer are still the same process. (This is what several other proc files already do, though for different reasons.)
