Yama: higher restrictions should block PTRACE_TRACEME

The higher ptrace restriction levels should be blocking even
PTRACE_TRACEME requests. The comments in the LSM documentation are
misleading about when the checks happen (the parent does not go through
security_ptrace_access_check() on a PTRACE_TRACEME call).

These restrictions do not change how ptrace via PTRACE_TRACEME operates.
The sysctl settings are:

The original children-only logic was based on the restrictions in grsecurity.
