[PATCH] ptrace: last_siginfo also needs tasklist_lock

Looks like we fixed only part of the problem earlier.  When the child moves
away from ptrace notify and resets the last_siginfo, sighand lock helps.
But if the child goes further in exit and releases the sighand, we need to
test that case too.  See ptrace_check_attach() and exit_sighand().  They
also use the tasklist_lock.

Followed Roland's suggestions on lock primitive and struct assignment.
