Subject: [PATCH v2 11/12] ptrace: Always call schedule in ptrace_stop

Stop testing for !current->ptrace and setting __state to TASK_RUNNING.
The code in __ptrace_unlink wakes up the child with
ptrace_signal_wake_up which will set __state to TASK_RUNNING.  This
leaves the only thing ptrace_stop needs to do is to send the signals.

Make the signals sending conditional upon current->ptrace so that
the correct signals are sent to the parent.

After that call schedule and let the fact that __state == TASK_RUNNING
keep the code from sleeping in schedule.

Now that it is easy to see that ptrace_stop always sleeps in
ptrace_stop after ptrace_freeze_trace succeeds modify
ptrace_check_attach to warn if wait_task_inactive fails.
