CVE request - kernel: s390 task_show_regs infoleak

"task_show_regs used to be a debugging aid in the early bringup days of Linux on s390. /proc/<pid>/status is a world readable file, it is not a good idea to show the registers of a process. The only correct fix is to remove task_show_regs."

This does all the way back to 2.4.x.

Thanks, Eugene
