[PATCH] coredump: kill ptrace related stuff

With this patch zap_process() sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT while sending SIGKILL to
the thread group.  This means that a TASK_TRACED task

	1. Will be awakened by signal_wake_up(1)

	2. Can't sleep again via ptrace_notify()

	3. Can't go to do_signal_stop() after return
	   from ptrace_stop() in get_signal_to_deliver()

So we can remove all ptrace related stuff from coredump path.
