It eventually ends up with three trap flags - SEIZE, INTERRUPT and
NOTIFY.  They all use PTRACE_EVENT_INTERRUPT trap but are different as
for when they're cleared.  SEIZE is cleared after any trap.  INTERRUPT
is cleared after an INTERRUPT trap and NOTIFY is cleared after
GETSIGINFO.  We can add different pending flags and adjust INTERRUPT
flag according to different pending conditions but I think it's
cleaner to have multiple trap flags than multiplexing things over
single trap flag.

Again, isn't this cleared during __ptrace_unlink()?

Thanks.
