ptrace_stop: fix the race with ptrace detach+attach
If the tracer went away (may_ptrace_stop() failed), ptrace_stop() drops tasklist and then changes the ->state from TASK_TRACED to TASK_RUNNING. This can fool another tracer which attaches to us in between. Change the ->state under tasklist_lock to ensure that ptrace_check_attach() can't wrongly succeed. Also, remove the unnecessary mb().
