Subject: [RFC,PATCH 09/14] tracehooks: check PT_PTRACED before reporting
	the single-step

No functional changes, preparation for utrace-ptrace.

tracehook_report_syscall_exit() and tracehook_signal_handler() assume
that only ptrace can set TIF_SINGLESTEP. Currently this is true but we
are going to change this, the stepping logic will be moved into utrace
layer.

Change this code to check PT_PTRACED, ptrace-utrace doesn't set it.
