OK, this looks wrong. I actually mean the previous patch which sets
JOBCTL_TRACED.

The problem is that the tracee can be already killed, so that
fatal_signal_pending(current) is true. In this case we can't rely on
signal_wake_up_state() which should clear JOBCTL_TRACED, or the
callers of ptrace_signal_wake_up/etc which clear this flag by hand.

In this case schedule() won't block and ptrace_stop() will leak
JOBCTL_TRACED. Unless I missed something.

We could check fatal_signal_pending() and damn! this is what I think
ptrace_stop() should have done from the very beginning. But for now
I'd suggest to simply clear this flag before return, along with
DELAY_WAKEKILL and LISTENING.

	current->jobctl &=
		~(~JOBCTL_TRACED | JOBCTL_DELAY_WAKEKILL | JOBCTL_LISTENING);

Oleg.
