Oleg, I see it again with almost the same test-case:

	cat /proc/self/stack >/dev/null
	chmod +x /proc/self/net/packet
	exec /proc/self/net/packet

Looks like bunch of proc files were converted to use seq_file by Alexey
Dobriyan around the same time you've fixed the issue for /proc/pid/maps.

More generic test-case:

	find /proc/self/ -type f -exec dd if='{}' of=/dev/null bs=1 count=1 ';' 2>/dev/null
	chmod +x /proc/self/net/packet
	exec /proc/self/net/packet

David, any justification for allowing chmod +x for files under
/proc/pid/net?
