OK, please see v3 rebased on top of "unexport ptrace_check_attach()" you
already applied.

I tried to update the comment in ptrace_check_attach(), and changed unfreeze()
to simply do WARN_ON() without if/return.

There is also the cosmetic change in 1/3,

	-		ptrace_signal_wake_up(child, task_is_traced(child));
	+		ptrace_signal_wake_up(child, true);

in __ptrace_unlink().

Oleg.
