Subject: [PATCH -mm 1/2] ptrace_stop: fix the race with ptrace detach+attach
If the tracer went away (may_ptrace_stop() failed), ptrace_stop() drops tasklist
and then changes the ->state from TASK_TRACED to TASK_RUNNING.
This can fool another tracer which attaches to us in between. Change the ->state
under tasklist_lock to ensure that ptrace_check_attach() can't wrongly succeed.
Also, remove the unnecessary mb().
