Fix ptrace_attach()/ptrace_traceme()/de_thread() race
This holds the task lock (and, for ptrace_attach, the tasklist_lock) over the actual attach event, which closes a race between attacking to a thread that is either doing a PTRACE_TRACEME or getting de-threaded. Thanks to Oleg Nesterov for reminding me about this, and Chris Wright for noticing a lost return value in my first version. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
