Subject: [ 18/30] ptrace: introduce signal_wake_up_state() and ptrace_signal_wake_up()

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@...hat.com>

Upstream commit 910ffdb18a6408e14febbb6e4b6840fd2c928c82.

Cleanup and preparation for the next change.

signal_wake_up(resume => true) is overused. None of ptrace/jctl callers
actually want to wakeup a TASK_WAKEKILL task, but they can't specify the
necessary mask.

Turn signal_wake_up() into signal_wake_up_state(state), reintroduce
signal_wake_up() as a trivial helper, and add ptrace_signal_wake_up()
which adds __TASK_TRACED.

This way ptrace_signal_wake_up() can work "inside" ptrace_request()
even if the tracee doesn't have the TASK_WAKEKILL bit set.
