Oleg Nesterov 087eb43705 ptrace: tracehook_report_clone: fix false positives
The "trace || CLONE_PTRACE" check in tracehook_report_clone() is not right,

- If the untraced task does clone(CLONE_PTRACE) the new child is not traced,
  we must not queue SIGSTOP.

- If we forked the traced task, but the tracer exits and untraces both the
  forking task and the new child (after copy_process() drops tasklist_lock),
  we should not queue SIGSTOP too.

Change the code to check task_ptrace() != 0 instead. This is still racy, but
the race is harmless.

We can race with another tracer attaching to this child, or the tracer can
exit and detach in parallel. But giwen that we didn't do wake_up_new_task()
yet, the child must have the pending SIGSTOP anyway.
