... and in theory we need rcu_read_lock() here.
I'd like to send the next patch for review, because I have questions.
It fixes the bug above, but of course the previous patch should be
fixed instead. I'll re-send the whole series (with renames), but first
I'd like to know what Roland thinks.

[RFC PATCH 8/X] ptrace: introduce ptrace_tracer() helper
Introduce ptrace_tracer() (or suggest a better name) to simplify/cleanup
the code which needs the tracer and checks task_ptrace(). From now nobody
else uses ->pt_tracer except ptrace_link/ptrace_unlink.
Question. Note that ptrace_tracer() is equal to tracehook_tracer_task().
But I do not understand the future plans for tracehook_tracer_task().
Should we just use tracehook_tracer_task() ? If yes, how
ptrace_reparented() can use this helper?
