proc: save 2 atomic ops on write to "/proc/*/attr/*"
Code checks if write is done by current to its own attributes. For that get/put pair is unnecessary as it can be done under RCU. Note: rcu_read_unlock() can be done even earlier since pointer to a task is not dereferenced. It depends if /proc code should look scary or not: rcu_read_lock(); task = pid_task(...); rcu_read_unlock(); if (!task) return -ESRCH; if (task != current) return -EACCESS: P.S.: rename "length" variable. Code like this length = -EINVAL; should not exist.
