Might just work, will have to look at it again though ;-) Comments
below.

That TRACED_FROZEN was to distinguish the TASK_TRACED and __TASK_TRACED
state, and isn't related to the freezer.

The thing being, that if it is our ptrace child, it won't be going away
since we're running this code and not ptrace_detach().  Right?

I failed to realize this earlier and I think that's part of why my
solution is somewhat over complicated.

What if signal_wake_up(.resume=true) happens here? In that case we miss
the fatal pending, and task state isn't changed yet so we'll happily go
sleep.

  TRACED_XXX ?

That is, shouldn't we write this like:

		for (;;) {
			set_current_state(TASK_KILLABLE);
			if (fatal_signal_pending(current)) {
				ret = -EINTR;
				break;
			}
			if (!(READ_ONCE(current->jobctl) & JOBCTL_TRACED_XXX)) {
				ret = 0;
				break;
			}
			schedule();
		}
		__set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);
		if (ret)
			return ret;

I would feel much better if this were still a task_func_call()
validating !->on_rq && !->on_cpu.

But... TRACED_XXX has just been cleared ?!
