Well, we need to ensure that even SIGKILL can't wake the tracee up while
debugger plays with its registers/etc.

This is a slow path.
We can probably change ptrace_check_attach() to call ptrace_freeze_traced()
after wait_task_inactive(), but I would like to not do this... Because we
actually want to avoid wait_task_inactive() when possible.
Perhaps ptrace_freeze_traced() can __task_rq_lock() to avoid the race with
__schedule() ? No, it reads prev_state before rq_lock().

Oh yes, I agree.
I have to admit, I do not understand the usage of prev_state in schedule(),
it looks really, really subtle...
Oleg.
