wait_task_stopped: simplify and fix races with SIGCONT/SIGKILL/untrace
wait_task_stopped() has multiple races with SIGCONT/SIGKILL. tasklist_lock
does not pin the child in TASK_TRACED/TASK_STOPPED stated, almost all info
reported (including exit_code) may be wrong.
In fact, the code under write_lock_irq(tasklist_lock) is not safe. The child
may be PTRACE_DETACH'ed at this time by another subthread, in that case it is
possible we are no longer its ->parent.
Change wait_task_stopped() to take ->siglock before inspecting the task. This
guarantees that the child can't resume and (for example) clear its
->exit_code, so we don't need to use xchg(&p->exit_code) and re-check. The
only exception is ptrace_stop() which changes ->state and ->exit_code without
->siglock held during abort. But this can only happen if both the tracer and
the tracee are dying (coredump is in progress), we don't care.
With this patch wait_task_stopped() doesn't move the child to the end of
the ->parent list on success. This optimization could be restored, but
in that case we have to take write_lock(tasklist) and do some nasty
checks.
Also change the do_wait() since we don't return EAGAIN any longer.
