Something that might work; since there's only the one ptracer, is to
instead do something like:

	current->jobctl &= ~JOBCTL_TRACED_XXX; // siglock
	if (current->ptrace)
		wake_up_process(current->parent);
	preempt_enable_no_resched();
	schedule();


vs

	for (;;) {
		set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
		if (!(p->jobctl & JOBCTL_TRACED_XXX))
			break;
		schedule();
	}
	__set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);

	if (!wait_task_inactive(...))


ptrace_detach() needs some additional magic as well I think, but this
might just work.
