[PATCH] ptrace: do not use task->ptrace directly in core kernel

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Wed Apr 29 2009 - 08:33:33 EST


No functional changes.

- Nobody except ptrace.c & co should use ptrace flags directly, we have
task_ptrace() for that.

- No need to specially check PT_PTRACED, we must not have other PT_ bits
set without PT_PTRACED. And no need to know this flag exists.
