ptrace: Collapse ptrace_untrace() into __ptrace_unlink()
Remove the extra task_is_traced() check in __ptrace_unlink() and collapse ptrace_untrace() into __ptrace_unlink(). This is to prepare for further changes. While at it, drop the comment on top of ptrace_untrace() and convert __ptrace_unlink() comment to docbook format. Detailed comment will be added by the next patch. This patch doesn't cause any visible behavior changes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>
