Subject: [PATCH 3/3] ptrace_untrace: fix the SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED check

This bug is ancient too. ptrace_untrace() must not resume the task
if the group stop in progress, we should set TASK_STOPPED instead.

Unfortunately, we still have problems here:

	- if the process/thread was traced, SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED
	  does not necessary means this thread group is stopped.

	- ptrace breaks the bookkeeping of ->group_stop_count.

(the comment above ptrace_untrace() doesn't look exactly right too).
