ptrace: simplify ptrace_stop()->sigkill_pending() path



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().
