[PATCH 1/4] ptrace: kill __ptrace_detach(), fix ->exit_state check

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Wed Jan 28 2009 - 23:32:05 EST


Move the code from __ptrace_detach() to its single caller and kill this
helper.

Also, fix the ->exit_state check, we shouldn't wake up EXIT_DEAD tasks.
Actually, I think task_is_stopped_or_traced() makes more sense, but this
needs another patch.
