ptrace: Make do_signal_stop() use ptrace_stop() if the task is being ptraced
A ptraced task would still stop at do_signal_stop() when it's stopping for stop signals and do_signal_stop() behaves the same whether the task is ptraced or not. However, in addition to stopping, ptrace_stop() also does ptrace specific stuff like calling architecture specific callbacks, so this behavior makes the code more fragile and difficult to understand. This patch makes do_signal_stop() test whether the task is ptraced and use ptrace_stop() if so. This renders tracehook_notify_jctl() rather pointless as the ptrace notification is now handled by ptrace_stop() regardless of the return value from the tracehook. It probably is a good idea to update it. This doesn't solve the whole problem as tasks already in stopped state would stay in the regular stop when ptrace attached. That part will be handled by the next patch. Oleg pointed out that this makes a userland-visible change. Before, SIGCONT would be able to wake up a task in group stop even if the task is ptraced if the tracer hasn't issued another ptrace command afterwards (as the next ptrace commands transitions the state into TASK_TRACED which ignores SIGCONT wakeups). With this and the next patch, SIGCONT may race with the transition into TASK_TRACED and is ignored if the tracee already entered TASK_TRACED. Another userland visible change of this and the next patch is that the ptracee's state would now be TASK_TRACED where it used to be TASK_STOPPED, which is visible via fs/proc.
