Bug description:
  == Comment: #0 - Breno Henrique Leitao <brenohl@xxxxxxxxxx> - 2017-05-11 15:30:52 ==
  The PR_DUMPABLE flag causes the pid related paths of the proc file system to be owned by ROOT.
      
      The implementation of pthread_set/getname_np however needs access to  /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/comm.  If PR_DUMPABLE is false this implementation is locked out.
      
      This patch installs a special permission function for the file "comm"  that grants read and write access to all threads of the same group  regardless of the ownership of the inode.  For all other threads the  function falls back to the generic inode permission check.
