[PATCH] stating/lustre: fix misuse of current->parent.

From: NeilBrown
Date: Fri Jul 18 2014 - 01:39:34 EST




current->parent is used by ptrace to redirect some signal delivery
to the ptracer. It should only be used by 'ptrace' or 'signal' code.
All other users should use current->real_parent, which is the real
parent.
