[PATCH] ptrace_signal subroutine

[PATCH] ptrace_signal subroutine

[Roland McGrath]

This breaks out the ptrace handling from get_signal_to_deliver
into a new subroutine.  The actual code there doesn't change, and
it gets inlined into nearly identical compiled code.  This makes
the function substantially shorter and thus easier to read, and
it nicely isolates the ptrace magic.
