ptrace: change __ptrace_unlink() to clear ->ptrace under ->siglock



This test-case (simplified version of generated by syzkaller)

	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <sys/ptrace.h>
	#include <sys/wait.h>

	void test(void)
	{
		for (;;) {
			if (fork()) {
				wait(NULL);
				continue;
			}

			ptrace(PTRACE_SEIZE, getppid(), 0, 0);
			ptrace(PTRACE_INTERRUPT, getppid(), 0, 0);
			_exit(0);
		}
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		int np;

		for (np = 0; np < 8; ++np)
			if (!fork())
				test();

		while (wait(NULL) > 0)
			;
		return 0;
	}

triggers the 2nd WARN_ON_ONCE(!signr) warning in do_jobctl_trap().  The
problem is that __ptrace_unlink() clears task->jobctl under siglock but
task->ptrace is cleared without this lock held; this fools the "else"
branch which assumes that !PT_SEIZED means PT_PTRACED.

Note also that most of other PTRACE_SEIZE checks can race with detach
from the exiting tracer too.  Say, the callers of ptrace_trap_notify()
assume that SEIZED can't go away after it was checked.
