ptrace: Fix ptrace when task is in task_is_stopped() state
This patch fixes a regression in ptrace, introduced by commit 9e74eb39 (backport of 9899d11f) which makes assumptions about ptrace behavior which are not true in the 2.6.32 kernel. BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1145234 9899d11f makes the assumption that task_is_stopped() is not a valid state in ptrace because it is built on top of a series of patches which change how the TASK_STOPPED state is tracked (321fb561 which requires d79fdd6d and several other patches). Because Lucid does not have the set of patches that make task_is_stopped() an invalid state in ptrace_check_attach, partially revert 9e74eb39 so that ptrace_check_attach() correctly handles task_is_stopped(). However we must replace the assignment of TASK_TRACED with __TASK_TRACED to ensure TASK_WAKEKILL is cleared.
