Eric, but this is wrong. At least this is the serious user-visible change.

Afaics, with this patch the tracee will never stop in PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT in case
of group_exit/exec, because schedule() in TASK_TRACED state won't block due to
__fatal_signal_pending().

Yes, yes, as I said many times the semantics of PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT was never really
defined, it depends on /dev/random, but still I don't think we should break it even
more.

Oleg.
