ptrace: introduce signal_wake_up_state() and ptrace_signal_wake_up()
ptrace: introduce signal_wake_up_state() and ptrace_signal_wake_up() CVE-2013-0871 BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1129192 Cleanup and preparation for the next change. signal_wake_up(resume => true) is overused. None of ptrace/jctl callers actually want to wakeup a TASK_WAKEKILL task, but they can't specify the necessary mask. Turn signal_wake_up() into signal_wake_up_state(state), reintroduce signal_wake_up() as a trivial helper, and add ptrace_signal_wake_up() which adds __TASK_TRACED. This way ptrace_signal_wake_up() can work "inside" ptrace_request() even if the tracee doesn't have the TASK_WAKEKILL bit set.
