[PATCH] ptrace: Remove redundant code in ptrace_attach

From: Marcus Huewe
Date: Wed Jan 13 2021 - 08:46:26 EST


In case of a PTRACE_SEIZE request, the PT_SEIZED flag is always set
at the beginning of ptrace_attach. Hence, there is no need to set
it again (neither "flags" nor "seize" are modified in between/after
the initial assignment).
