wait/ptrace: assume __WALL if the child is traced

commit bf959931 upstream.

The following program (simplified version of generated by syzkaller)

	#include <pthread.h>
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <sys/ptrace.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <signal.h>

	void *thread_func(void *arg)
	{
		ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0);
		return 0;
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		pthread_t thread;

		if (fork())
			return 0;

		while (getppid() != 1)
			;

		pthread_create(&thread, NULL, thread_func, NULL);
		pthread_join(thread, NULL);
		return 0;
	}

creates an unreapable zombie if /sbin/init doesn't use __WALL.

This is not a kernel bug, at least in a sense that everything works as
expected: debugger should reap a traced sub-thread before it can reap the
leader, but without __WALL/__WCLONE do_wait() ignores sub-threads.

Unfortunately, it seems that /sbin/init in most (all?) distributions
doesn't use it and we have to change the kernel to avoid the problem.
Note also that most init's use sys_waitid() which doesn't allow __WALL, so
the necessary user-space fix is not that trivial.

This patch just adds the "ptrace" check into eligible_child().  To some
degree this matches the "tsk->ptrace" in exit_notify(), ->exit_signal is
mostly ignored when the tracee reports to debugger.  Or WSTOPPED, the
tracer doesn't need to set this flag to wait for the stopped tracee.

This obviously means the user-visible change: __WCLONE and __WALL no
longer have any meaning for debugger.  And I can only hope that this won't
break something, but at least strace/gdb won't suffer.

We could make a more conservative change.  Say, we can take __WCLONE into
account, or !thread_group_leader().  But it would be nice to not
complicate these historical/confusing checks.
