[PATCH 10/26] ptrace: Simplify ptrace_detach & exit_ptrace
From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Tue Jun 06 2017 - 15:12:41 EST
Call __ptrace_unlink not __ptrace_detach. As it is guaranteed that
ptrace_detach will never be called on a process that has or may exit.
Rename __ptrace_detach __exit_ptrace as exit_ptrace is now it's only
caller and the corrected name is less confusing.
