Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] introduce ptrace_reparented() helper

Somehow the patch I sent misses the change in ptrace.c, it can use the
new helper too.


[PATCH 2/2] introduce ptrace_reparented() helper

Add another trivial helper for the sake of grep. It also auto-documents the
fact that ->parent != real_parent implies ->ptrace.

No functional changes.
