[PATCH v4 12/12] sched, signal, ptrace: Rework TASK_TRACED, TASK_STOPPED state

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz at infradead.org>

Currently ptrace_stop() / do_signal_stop() rely on the special states
TASK_TRACED and TASK_STOPPED resp. to keep unique state. That is, this
state exists only in task->__state and nowhere else.

There's two spots of bother with this:

 - PREEMPT_RT has task->saved_state which complicates matters,
   meaning task_is_{traced,stopped}() needs to check an additional
   variable.

 - An alternative freezer implementation that itself relies on a
   special TASK state would loose TASK_TRACED/TASK_STOPPED and will
   result in misbehaviour.

As such, add additional state to task->jobctl to track this state
outside of task->__state.

NOTE: this doesn't actually fix anything yet, just adds extra state.

--EWB
  * didn't add a unnecessary newline in signal.h
  * Update t->jobctl in signal_wake_up and ptrace_signal_wake_up
    instead of in signal_wake_up_state.  This prevents the clearing
    of TASK_STOPPED and TASK_TRACED from getting lost.
  * Added warnings if JOBCTL_STOPPED or JOBCTL_TRACED are not cleared
