[patch 16/39] [PATCH] fix zap_threads ptrace related problems

[Chris Wright]

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------

1. The tracee can go from ptrace_stop() to do_signal_stop()
   after __ptrace_unlink(p).

2. It is unsafe to __ptrace_unlink(p) while p->parent may wait
   for tasklist_lock in ptrace_detach().
