Subject: [PATCH] make former thread ID available via PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG after
 PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC stop

Hi Oleg,

As discussed, the attached patch allows tracer to figure out
which of its potentially many tracees performed an execve,
and what was its former tid.

Not sure what kind of locking, if any, I need to put around
current->parent...

The patch is on top of Tejun's patches.
