ptrace: fix signal->wait_chldexit usage in task_clear_group_stop_trapping()
GROUP_STOP_TRAPPING waiting mechanism piggybacks on signal->wait_chldexit which is primarily used to implement waiting for wait(2) and friends. When do_wait() waits on signal->wait_chldexit, it uses a custom wake up callback, child_wait_callback(), which expects the child task which is waking up the parent to be passed in as @key to filter out spurious wakeups. task_clear_group_stop_trapping() used __wake_up_sync() which uses NULL @key causing the following oops if the parent was doing do_wait().

I still think it's a mistake to piggyback on wait_chldexit for this. Given the relative low frequency of ptrace use, we would be much better off leaving already complex wait_chldexit alone and using bit waitqueue.
