Subject: tracehook: unexport ptrace_notify
From: Roland McGrath <roland@xxxxxxxxxx>

The ptrace_notify() function should not be called by any modules.  It was
only ever exported to be called by binfmt exec functions.  But that is no
longer necessary since fs/exec.c deals with that generically now.  There
should be no calls to ptrace_notify() from outside the core kernel.
