+ * task group attempts to access the node.
+ * The rationale behind this is that glibc and bionic access this node for
+ * cross thread naming (pthread_set/getname_np(!self)). However, if
+ * PR_SET_DUMPABLE gets set to 0 this node among others becomes uid=0 gid=0,
+ * which locks out the cross thread naming implementation.
+ * This function makes sure that the node is always accessible for members of
+ * same thread group.
