This doesn't look right in general, and this can't really help.

This assumes that the tracer will call do_wait() after mm_access()
fails, but this is not necessarily true.

Note also ptrace_attach(), -ERESTARTNOINTR means that the tracer won't
even return to user-space if SIGCHLD is ignored, the tracer will silently
restart the syscall.
