wait: introduce EXIT_TRACE to avoid the racy EXIT_DEAD->EXIT_ZOMBIE transition 

wait_task_zombie() first does EXIT_ZOMBIE->EXIT_DEAD transition and
drops tasklist_lock.  If this task is not the natural child and it is
traced, we change its state back to EXIT_ZOMBIE for ->real_parent.

The last transition is racy, this is even documented in 50b8d25748
"ptrace: partially fix the do_wait(WEXITED) vs EXIT_DEAD->EXIT_ZOMBIE
race".  wait_consider_task() tries to detect this transition and clear
->notask_error but we can't rely on ptrace_reparented(), debugger can
exit and do ptrace_unlink() before its sub-thread sets EXIT_ZOMBIE.

And there is another problem which were missed before: this transition
can also race with reparent_leader() which doesn't reset >exit_signal if
EXIT_DEAD, assuming that this task must be reaped by someone else.  So
the tracee can be re-parented with ->exit_signal != SIGCHLD, and if
/sbin/init doesn't use __WALL it becomes unreapable.  This was fixed by
the previous commit, but it was the temporary hack.

1. Add the new exit_state, EXIT_TRACE. It means that the task is the
   traced zombie, debugger is going to detach and notify its natural
   parent.

   This new state is actually EXIT_ZOMBIE | EXIT_DEAD. This way we
   can avoid the changes in proc/kgdb code, get_task_state() still
   reports "X (dead)" in this case.

   Note: with or without this change userspace can see Z -> X -> Z
   transition. Not really bad, but probably makes sense to fix.

2. Change wait_task_zombie() to use EXIT_TRACE instead of EXIT_DEAD
   if we need to notify the ->real_parent.

3. Revert the previous hack in reparent_leader(), now that EXIT_DEAD
   is always the final state we can safely ignore such a task.

4. Change wait_consider_task() to check EXIT_TRACE separately and kill
   the racy and no longer needed ptrace_reparented() case.

   If ptrace == T an EXIT_TRACE thread should be simply ignored, the
   owner of this state is going to ptrace_unlink() this task. We can
   pretend that it was already removed from ->ptraced list.

   Otherwise we should skip this thread too but clear ->notask_error,
   we must be the natural parent and debugger is going to untrace and
   notify us. IOW, this doesn't differ from "EXIT_ZOMBIE && p->ptrace"
   even if the task was already untraced.
