[PATCH 2/3] ptrace: cleanup check/set of PT_PTRACED during attach

[Oleg Nesterov]

ptrace_attach() and ptrace_traceme() are the last functions which look as
if the untraced task can have task->ptrace != 0, this must not be possible.
Change the code to just check ->ptrace != 0 and s/|=/=/ to set PT_PTRACED.

Also, a couple of trivial whitespace cleanups in ptrace_attach().

And move ptrace_traceme() up near ptrace_attach() to keep them close to each
other.
