[PATCH 07/16] signal: Wake up the designated parent

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Wed May 18 2022 - 18:55:16 EST


Today if a process is ptraced only the ptracer will ever be woken up in
wait, if the parent is waiting with __WNOTHREAD. Update the code
so that the real_parent can also be woken up with __WNOTHREAD even
when the code is ptraced.

Fixes: 75b95953a569 ("job control: Add @for_ptrace to do_notify_parent_cldstop()")
