Thanks Tejun. The whole series is fine imho.

But of course we need more changes. In particular, there is still the
small problem with the CLD_CONTINUED notification.

__ptrace_unlink() does signal_wake_up() if it adds SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED.
This is correct, but it should also add TIF_SIGPENDING if
(signal->flags & SIGNAL_CLD_MASK) != 0.

Otherwise, if the stopped tracee was PTRACE_CONT'ed and then SIGCONT
ends the group-stop, the real_parent won't be notified after detach.

Unfortunately, this means that recalc_sigpending_tsk() has to check
SIGNAL_CLD_MASK as well. Do you see another solution?

There is another case. SIGCONT can hit the stopped-but-running-task,
but I don't think we should try to set TIF_SIGPENDING in this case,
you are going to add the trap later.
