[PATCH 3.13 164/259] s390/ptrace: fix PSW mask check

3.13.11.6 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky at de.ibm.com>

commit dab6cf55f81a6e16b8147aed9a843e1691dcd318 upstream.

The PSW mask check of the PTRACE_POKEUSR_AREA command is incorrect.
The PSW_MASK_USER define contains the PSW_MASK_ASC bits, the ptrace
interface accepts all combinations for the address-space-control
bits. To protect the kernel space the PSW mask check in ptrace needs
to reject the address-space-control bit combination for home space.

Fixes CVE-2014-3534
