I realized the problem is much more general than just coredumps and
exit_mm.  We have io_uring threads, PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC and
PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT where ptrace is allowed to access userspace
registers, but on some architectures has not saved them.

Wait a sec.  To have anything happen on PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC, you need the
fucker traced.  *IF* you want to go that way, at least make it conditional
upon the same thing.
