Subject: [PATCH 03/23] tracehook: unexport ptrace_notify

The ptrace_notify() function should not be called by any modules.
It was only ever exported to be called by binfmt exec functions.
But that is no longer necessary since fs/exec.c deals with that
generically now.  There should be no calls to ptrace_notify() from
outside the core kernel.
