ptrace: ptrace_attach: check PF_KTHREAD + exit_state instead of ->mm

Browse Source 
- Add PF_KTHREAD check to prevent attaching to the kernel thread
  with a borrowed ->mm.

  With or without this change we can race with daemonize() which
  can set PF_KTHREAD or clear ->mm after ptrace_attach() does the
  check, but this doesn't matter because reparent_to_kthreadd()
  does ptrace_unlink().

- Kill "!task->mm" check. We don't really care about ->mm != NULL,
  and the task can call exit_mm() right after we drop task_lock().
  What we need is to make sure we can't attach after exit_notify(),
  check task->exit_state != 0 instead.

Also, move the "already traced" check down for cosmetic reasons.
