[PATCH] ptrace_attach: shift send(SIGSTOP) into ptrace_set_stopped()

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Mon Jan 22 2024 - 12:50:55 EST


Turn send_sig_info(SIGSTOP) into send_signal_locked(SIGSTOP) and move
it from ptrace_attach() to ptrace_set_stopped().

This looks more logical and avoids lock(siglock) right after unlock().
