From: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com>

A ptrace access check with mode PTRACE_MODE_SCHED gets called
from process switching code. This precludes the use of audit or avc,
as the locking is incompatible. The only available check that
can be made without using avc is a comparison of the secids.
This is not very satisfactory as it will indicate possible
vulnerabilies much too aggressively.
