ptrace: fix ptrace_signal() && STOP_DEQUEUED interaction

Simple test-case,

	int main(void)
	{
		int pid, status;

		pid = fork();
		if (!pid) {
			pause();
			assert(0);
			return 0x23;
		}

		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, 0,0) == 0);
		assert(wait(&status) == pid);
		assert(WIFSTOPPED(status) && WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGSTOP);

		kill(pid, SIGCONT);	// <--- also clears STOP_DEQUEUD

		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0,0) == 0);
		assert(wait(&status) == pid);
		assert(WIFSTOPPED(status) && WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGCONT);

		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0, SIGSTOP) == 0);
		assert(wait(&status) == pid);
		assert(WIFSTOPPED(status) && WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGSTOP);

		kill(pid, SIGKILL);
		return 0;
	}

Without the patch it hangs. After the patch SIGSTOP "injected" by the
tracer is not ignored and stops the tracee.

Note also that if this test-case uses, say, SIGWINCH instead of SIGCONT,
everything works without the patch. This can't be right, and this is
confusing.

The problem is that SIGSTOP (or any other sig_kernel_stop() signal) has
no effect without JOBCTL_STOP_DEQUEUED. This means it is simply ignored
after PTRACE_CONT unless JOBCTL_STOP_DEQUEUED was set "by accident", say
it wasn't cleared after initial SIGSTOP sent by PTRACE_ATTACH.

At first glance we could change ptrace_signal() to add STOP_DEQUEUED
after return from ptrace_stop(), but this is not right in case when the
tracer does not change the reported SIGSTOP and SIGCONT comes in between.
This is even more wrong with PT_SEIZED, SIGCONT adds JOBCTL_TRAP_NOTIFY
which will be "lost" during the TRAP_STOP | TRAP_NOTIFY report.

So lets add STOP_DEQUEUED _before_ we report the signal. It has no effect
unless sig_kernel_stop() == T after the tracer resumes us, and in the
latter case the pending STOP_DEQUEUED means no SIGCONT in between, we
should stop.

Note also that if SIGCONT was sent, PT_SEIZED tracee will correctly
report PTRACE_EVENT_STOP/SIGTRAP and thus the tracer can notice the fact
SIGSTOP was cancelled.

Also, move the current->ptrace check from ptrace_signal() to its caller,
get_signal_to_deliver(), this looks more natural.
