ptrace/m68k: Stop open coding ptrace_report_syscall



The generic function ptrace_report_syscall does a little more
than syscall_trace on m68k.  The function ptrace_report_syscall
stops early if PT_TRACED is not set, it sets ptrace_message,
and returns the result of fatal_signal_pending.

Setting ptrace_message to a passed in value of 0 is effectively not
setting ptrace_message, making that additional work a noop.

Returning the result of fatal_signal_pending and letting the caller
ignore the result becomes a noop in this change.

When a process is ptraced, the flag PT_PTRACED is always set in
current->ptrace.  Testing for PT_PTRACED in ptrace_report_syscall is
just an optimization to fail early if the process is not ptraced.
Later on in ptrace_notify, ptrace_stop will test current->ptrace under
tasklist_lock and skip performing any work if the task is not ptraced.
