ptrace: remove PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL bit
PTRACE_SEIZE code is tested and ready for production use, remove the code which requires special bit in data argument to make PTRACE_SEIZE work. Strace team prepares for a new release of strace, and we would like to ship the code which uses PTRACE_SEIZE, preferably after this change goes into released kernel.
