[PATCH 1/4] forget_original_parent: split out the un-ptrace part

[Oleg Nesterov]

By discussion with Roland.

- Rename ptrace_exit() to exit_ptrace(), and change it to do all the
  necessary work with ->ptraced list by its own.

- Move this code from exit.c to ptrace.c

- Update the comment in ptrace_detach() to explain the rechecking of
  the child->ptrace.
