pagemap: do not leak physical addresses to non-privileged userspace

commit ab676b7d6fbf4b294bf198fb27ade5b0e865c7ce upstream.

As pointed by recent post[1] on exploiting DRAM physical imperfection,
/proc/PID/pagemap exposes sensitive information which can be used to do
attacks.

This disallows anybody without CAP_SYS_ADMIN to read the pagemap.

[ Eventually we might want to do anything more finegrained, but for now
  this is the simple model.   - Linus ]
