[PATCH 4/4] ptrace: fix possible zombie leak on PTRACE_DETACH

[Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>]

When ptrace_detach() takes tasklist, the tracee can be SIGKILL'ed.
If it has already passed exit_notify() we can leak a zombie, because
a) ptracing disables the auto-reaping logic, and b) ->real_parent
was not notified about the child's death.

ptrace_detach() should follow the ptrace_exit's logic, change the
code accordingly.
