OK, lets make it killable at least, TASK_KILLABLE looks better in
any case.

I am starting to think again that we should remove JOBCTL_TRAPPING,
but this needs a bit more discussion and probably testing.

Anyway I agree with Tejun, the freezer doesn't look nice too.





Hmm. I need to re-check but it seems we have another problem...
ptrace_stop() does task_participate_group_stop() and this (in particular)
clears JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING. This is only correct if the task is still traced,
but this is not necessarily true and we can in fact clear JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING
set by __ptrace_unlink() called by the exiting tracer.

Oleg.
