Subject: [PATCH -mm 3/3] ptrace_check_attach: remove unneeded ->signal != NULL check
It is not possible to see the PT_PTRACED task without ->signal/sighand under
tasklist_lock, release_task() does ptrace_unlink() first. If the task was
already released before, ptrace_attach() can't succeed and set PT_PTRACED.
Remove this check.
