Oleg Nesterov c7e49c1488 ptrace: optimize exit_ptrace() for the likely case
exit_ptrace() takes tasklist_lock unconditionally.  We need this lock to
avoid the race with ptrace_traceme(), it acts as a barrier.

Change its caller, forget_original_parent(), to call exit_ptrace() under
tasklist_lock.  Change exit_ptrace() to drop and reacquire this lock if
needed.

This allows us to add the fastpath list_empty(ptraced) check.  In the
likely no-tracees case exit_ptrace() just returns and we avoid the lock()
+ unlock() sequence.

"Zhang, Yanmin" <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> suggested to add this
check, and he reports that this change adds about 11% improvement in some
tests.
