Subject: [PATCHSET] ptrace,signal: Improve ptrace and job control interaction

Hello,

This is repost of the following two pending patchsets.

 [1] group stop / ptrace updates, take#2
 [2] ptrace,signal: Fix notifications to the real parent while ptraced

Combined these patches implement "P1. Always TASK_TRACED while
ptraced", "P2. Fix notifications to the real parent" and "P3. Keep
ptrace resume separate from and beneath jctl stop" of the ptrace job
control improvements proposal[3].

All patches have been reviewed and acked by Oleg and this will be the
last repost of these patches.  They're being committed to a stable git
tree (will eventually be managed by Oleg) and will be pulled into
linux-next once -rc1 is released.
