ptrace: give more respect to SIGKILL
ptrace_stop() has some complicated checks to prevent the scheduling in the
TASK_TRACED state with the pending SIGKILL, but these checks are racy, and
they depend on arch_ptrace_stop_needed().
This patch assumes that the traced task should die asap if it was killed by
SIGKILL, in that case schedule()->signal_pending_state() has no reason to
ignore the TASK_WAKEKILL part of TASK_TRACED, and we can kill this nasty
special case.
Note: do_exit()->ptrace_notify() is special, the killed task can already
dequeue SIGKILL at this point. Another indication that fatal_signal_pending()
is not exactly right.
