quite possible...

Thanks. All I can say I never liked this wait_on_bit() ;)
I need to think, but *at first glance* we can move this wait-for-stopped-
traced-transition into do_wait() path, and this way clear_jobctl_trapping()
can use __wake_up_parent(). Perhaps we just need to modify task_stopped_code()
to take JOBCTL_TRAPPING into account...
Sure, debugger will block in sys_wait() after PTRACE_ATTACH/SEIZE. But this
does not really differ from the case when the tracee was already frozen;
SIGSTOP sent by ATTACH or PTRACE_INTERRUPT, so debugger will equally block
in do_wait() until the tracee is unfrozen.
