[OE-core] [warrior 11/28] procps: whitelist CVE-2018-1121

[Armin Kuster]

From: Ross Burton <ross.burton at intel.com>

This CVE is about race conditions in 'ps' which make it unsuitable for security
audits.  As these race conditions are unavoidable ps shouldn't be used for
security auditing, so this isn't a valid CVE.
