[PATCH] fix exec deadlock when ptrace used inside the thread group
If one thread uses ptrace on another thread in the same thread group, there
can be a deadlock when calling exec. The ptrace_stop change ensures that
no tracing stop can be entered for a queued signal, or exit tracing, if the
tracer is part of the same dying group. The exit_notify change prevents a
ptrace zombie from sticking around if its tracer is in the midst of a group
exit (which an exec fakes), so these zombies don't hold up de_thread's
synchronization. The de_thread change ensures the new thread group leader
doesn't wind up ptracing itself, which would produce its own deadlocks.
