Despite comment of validate_prctl_map claims there are no capability
checks, it is not completely true since commit 4d28df6152 ("prctl: Allow
local CAP_SYS_ADMIN changing exe_file"). Extract the check out of the
function and make the function perform purely arithmetic checks.
This patch should not change any behavior, it is mere refactoring for
following patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
