proc: io_accounting: Use new infrastructure to fix deadlocks in execve
[ Upstream commit 76518d3798855242817e8a8ed76b2d72f4415624 ] This changes do_io_accounting to use the new exec_update_mutex instead of cred_guard_mutex. This fixes possible deadlocks when the trace is accessing /proc/$pid/io for instance. This should be safe, as the credentials are only used for reading.
