ptrace: simplify ptrace_exit()->ignoring_children() path
ignoring_children() takes parent->sighand->siglock and checks
k_sigaction[SIGCHLD] atomically. But this buys nothing, we can't get the
"really" wrong result even if we race with sigaction(SIGCHLD). If we read
the "stale" sa_handler/sa_flags we can pretend it was changed right after
the check.
Remove spin_lock(->siglock), and kill "int ign" which caches the result of
ignoring_children() which becomes rather trivial.
Perhaps it makes sense to export this helper, do_notify_parent() can use
it too.
