ptrace: ptrace_attach: check PF_KTHREAD + exit_state instead of ->mm
- Add PF_KTHREAD check to prevent attaching to the kernel thread with a borrowed ->mm. With or without this change we can race with daemonize() which can set PF_KTHREAD or clear ->mm after ptrace_attach() does the check, but this doesn't matter because reparent_to_kthreadd() does ptrace_unlink(). - Kill "!task->mm" check. We don't really care about ->mm != NULL, and the task can call exit_mm() right after we drop task_lock(). What we need is to make sure we can't attach after exit_notify(), check task->exit_state != 0 instead. Also, move the "already traced" check down for cosmetic reasons.
