This WARN_ON_ONCE() doesn't look right, the task can be killed right
after ptrace_stop() sets JOBCTL_TRACED | JOBCTL_TRACED_QUIESCE and
drops siglock.

Well, I think it should be called earlier under tasklist_lock,
before preempt_disable() above.

We need tasklist_lock to protect ->parent, debugger can be killed
and go away right after read_unlock(&tasklist_lock).

Still trying to convince myself everything is right with
JOBCTL_STOPPED/TRACED ...
