Commit 34dbbcdbf63360661ff7bda6c5f52f99ac515f92 upstream.

In commit c4004b02f8e5b ("x86: remove the kernel code/data/bss resources
from /proc/iomem") I was hoping to remove the phyiscal kernel address
data from /proc/iomem entirely, but that had to be reverted because some
system programs actually use it.

This limits all the detailed resource information to properly
credentialed users instead.

[sumits: this is used in Ubuntu as a fix for CVE-2015-8944]
