ptrace: Admit ptrace_stop can generate spuriuos SIGTRAPs

Long ago and far away there was a BUG_ON at the start of ptrace_stop
that did "BUG_ON(!(current->ptrace & PT_PTRACED));" [1].  The BUG_ON
had never triggered but examination of the code showed that the BUG_ON
could actually trigger.  To complement removing the BUG_ON an attempt
to better handle the race was added.

The code detected the tracer had gone away and did not call
do_notify_parent_cldstop.  The code also attempted to prevent
ptrace_report_syscall from sending spurious SIGTRAPs when the tracer
went away.

The code to detect when the tracer had gone away before sending a
signal to tracer was a legitimate fix and continues to work to this
date.

The code to prevent sending spurious SIGTRAPs is a failure.  At the
time and until today the code only catches it when the tracer goes
away after siglock is dropped and before read_lock is acquired.  If
the tracer goes away after read_lock is dropped a spurious SIGTRAP can
still be sent to the tracee.  The tracer going away after read_lock
is dropped is the far likelier case as it is the bigger window.

Given that the attempt to prevent the generation of a SIGTRAP was a
failure and continues to be a failure remove the code that attempts to
do that.  This simplifies the code in ptrace_stop and makes
ptrace_stop much easier to reason about.

To successfully deal with the tracer going away, all of the tracer's
instrumentation of the child would need to be removed, and reliably
detecting when the tracer has set a signal to continue with would need
to be implemented.
