The BUG_ON is correct, and that isn't a workaround - if the list is not
empty, then it will be garbage after the task struct is freed. Your
patch breaks tracing of normal processes again, because the ptrace_list
will not be empty.
It may be that the BUG_ON can be triggered for detached processes. In
that case a ptrace_unlink is necessary somewhere else.
