Markus Metzger 9f339e7028 x86, ptrace, mm: fix double-free on race
Ptrace_detach() races with __ptrace_unlink() if the traced task is
reaped while detaching. This might cause a double-free of the BTS
buffer.

Change the ptrace_detach() path to only do the memory accounting in
ptrace_bts_detach() and leave the buffer free to ptrace_bts_untrace()
which will be called from __ptrace_unlink().

The fix follows a proposal from Oleg Nesterov.
