Ah... the try_to_freeze(). Nice spotting. It isn't necessarily a
deadlock tho. freeze_processes() will back out after a while. I
think the right thing to do here is making the TRAPPING sleep an
interruptible one and let the syscall restart logic deal with it.
This will also remove the dreaded unkillable tracer even if we get
something wrong somewhere. How does that sound?

Yeah, as I wrote before, I wanna do two things.
* Make TRAPPING wait INTERRUPTIBLE.
* Move clearing of pending group stop and traps to the actions which
require such clearing.
Thanks.
