Subject[PATCH v2] ptrace: fix ptrace vs tasklist_lock race on PREEMPT_RT.
As explained by Alexander Fyodorov <halcy@yandex.ru>:

|read_lock(&tasklist_lock) in ptrace_stop() is converted to sleeping
|lock on a PREEMPT_RT kernel, and it can remove __TASK_TRACED from
|task->__state (by moving it to task->saved_state). If parent does
|wait() on child followed by a sys_ptrace call, the following race can
|happen:
|
|- child sets __TASK_TRACED in ptrace_stop()
|- parent does wait() which eventually calls wait_task_stopped() and returns
| child's pid
|- child blocks on read_lock(&tasklist_lock) in ptrace_stop() and moves
| __TASK_TRACED flag to saved_state
|- parent calls sys_ptrace, which calls ptrace_check_attach() and
| wait_task_inactive()

The patch is based on his initial patch where an additional check is
added in case the __TASK_TRACED moved to ->saved_state. The pi_lock is
acquired to have stable view on ->__state and ->saved_state.

wait_task_inactive() needs to check both task states while waiting for the
expected task state. Should the expected task state be in ->saved_state then
the task is blocked on a sleeping lock. In this case wait_task_inactive() needs
to wait until the lock situtation has been resolved (the expected state is in
->__state). This ensures that the task is idle and does not wakeup as part of
lock resolving and races for instance with __switch_to_xtra() while the
debugger clears TIF_BLOCKSTEP() (noted by Oleg Nesterov).

[ Fix for ptrace_unfreeze_traced() by Oleg Nesterov ]

v1…v2:
- Use also ->saved_state in task_state_match_and_set().
- Wait in wait_task_inactive() until the desired task state is in
->__state so that the task won't wake up a as part of lock
resolving. Pointed out by Oleg Nesterov.
