Forgot to say, I think 1/5 needs some changes in any case...

ptrace_resume() does wake_up_state(child, __TASK_TRACED) but doesn't
clear JOBCTL_TRACED. The "else" branch in ptrace_stop() leaks this flag
too. Perhaps I missed something, I'll reread 1/5 again, but the main
question to me is whether 1-2 actually need the JOBCTL_TRACED_FROZEN flag.
