ptrace: fix exit_ptrace() vs ptrace_traceme() race
Pointed out by Roland. The bug was recently introduced by me in "forget_original_parent: split out the un-ptrace part", commit 39c626ae47c469abdfd30c6e42eff884931380d6. Since that patch we have a window after exit_ptrace() drops tasklist and before forget_original_parent() takes it again. In this window the child can do ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME) and nobody can untrace this child after that. Change ptrace_traceme() to not attach to the exiting ->real_parent. We don't report the error in this case, we pretend we attach right before ->real_parent calls exit_ptrace() which should untrace us anyway.
