Please no pt_ prefixes. It is abundantly clear from the
'->ptrace_ctx' portion already that it's about ptrace - the rest
should be a straightforward minimalistic naming - i.e.
->ptrace_ctx->flags.

Also, is the conditional necessary? We should not be calling ptrace
methods on tasks with no ptrace context.

Thanks,

Ingo
