ptrace: fix possible zombie leak on PTRACE_DETACH

commit 4576145c1ecdaaea9ef8976a48335206aa1ebf91 upstream.

When ptrace_detach() takes tasklist, the tracee can be SIGKILL'ed.  If it
has already passed exit_notify() we can leak a zombie, because a) ptracing
disables the auto-reaping logic, and b) ->real_parent was not notified
about the child's death.

ptrace_detach() should follow the ptrace_exit's logic, change the code
accordingly.
