coredump: set_dumpable: fix the theoretical race with itself

Browse source 
set_dumpable() updates MMF_DUMPABLE_MASK in a non-trivial way to ensure
that get_dumpable() can't observe the intermediate state, but this all
can't help if multiple threads call set_dumpable() at the same time.

And in theory commit_creds()->set_dumpable(SUID_DUMP_ROOT) racing with
sys_prctl()->set_dumpable(SUID_DUMP_DISABLE) can result in SUID_DUMP_USER.

Change this code to update both bits atomically via cmpxchg().

Note: this assumes that it is safe to mix bitops and cmpxchg.  IOW, if,
say, an architecture implements cmpxchg() using the locking (like
arch/parisc/lib/bitops.c does), then it should use the same locks for
set_bit/etc.

/*
* set_dumpable converts traditional three-value dumpable to two flags and
* stores them into mm->flags. It modifies lower two bits of mm->flags, but
* these bits are not changed atomically. So get_dumpable can observe the
* intermediate state. To avoid doing unexpected behavior, get get_dumpable
* return either old dumpable or new one by paying attention to the order of
* modifying the bits.
*
* dumpable | mm->flags (binary)
* old new | initial interim final
* ---------+-----------------------
* 0 1 | 00 01 01
* 0 2 | 00 10(*) 11
* 1 0 | 01 00 00
* 1 2 | 01 11 11
* 2 0 | 11 10(*) 00
* 2 1 | 11 11 01
*
* (*) get_dumpable regards interim value of 10 as 11.
* stores them into mm->flags.
