Subject: ptrace: simplify ptrace_stop()->sigkill_pending() path
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
1. SIGKILL can't be blocked, remove this check from sigkill_pending().
2. When ptrace_stop() sees sigkill_pending() == T, it can just return.
Kill "int killed" and simplify the code. This also is more correct,
the tracer shouldn't see us in TASK_TRACED if we are not going to
stop.
I strongly believe this code needs further changes. We should do the "was
this task killed" check unconditionally, currently it depends on
arch_ptrace_stop_needed(). On the other hand, sigkill_pending() isn't
very clever. If the task was killed tkill(SIGKILL), the signal can be
already dequeued if the caller is do_exit().
