Subject: [PATCH 1/2] exec: Fix dead-lock in de_thread with ptrace_attach

This removes the last users of cred_guard_mutex
and replaces it with a new mutex exec_guard_mutex,
and a boolean unsafe_execve_in_progress.

This addresses the case when at least one of the
sibling threads is traced, and therefore the trace
process may dead-lock in ptrace_attach, but de_thread
will need to wait for the tracer to continue execution.

The solution is to detect this situation and make
ptrace_attach and similar functions return -EAGAIN,
but only in a situation where a dead-lock is imminent.

This means this is an API change, but only when the
process is traced while execve happens in a
multi-threaded application.

See tools/testing/selftests/ptrace/vmaccess.c
for a test case that gets fixed by this change.
