Subject: [PATCH -mm 2/3] kill my_ptrace_child()

Now that my_ptrace_child() is trivial we can use the "p->ptrace & PT_PTRACED"
inline and simplify the corresponding logic in do_wait: we can't find the child
in TASK_TRACED state without PT_PTRACED flag set, ptrace_untrace() either sets
TASK_STOPPED or wakes up the tracee.
