I'm having difficulty spotting them; I find:

TASK_WAKEKILL: signal_wake_up()
__TASK_TRACED: ptrace_signal_wake_up(), ptrace_unfreeze_traced(), ptrace_resume()

And all those sites dutifully clear JOBCTL_TRACED.

I'd be most interested in the calstack for the 'clearing TASK_TRACED 2'
events to see where we miss a spot.
