[PATCH 7/9] ptrace: Simplify the wait_task_inactive call in ptrace_check_attach

[Eric W. Biederman]

Asking wait_task_inactive to verify that tsk->__state == __TASK_TRACED
was needed to detect the when ptrace_stop would decide not to stop
after calling "set_special_state(TASK_TRACED)".  With the recent
cleanups ptrace_stop will always stop after calling set_special_state.

Take advatnage of this by no longer asking wait_task_inactive to
verify the state.  If a bug is hit and wait_task_inactive does not
succeed warn and return -ESRCH.
