4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Jamie Iles <jamie.i...@oracle.com>
[ Upstream commit 2d39b3cd34e6d323720d4c61bd714f5ae202c022 ]
Since commit 00cd5c37afd5 ("ptrace: permit ptracing of /sbin/init") we
can now trace init processes. init is initially protected with
SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE which will prevent fatal signals such as SIGSTOP, but
there are a number of paths during tracing where SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE can
be implicitly cleared.
This can result in init becoming stoppable/killable after tracing. For
example, running:
while true; do kill -STOP 1; done &
strace -p 1
and then stopping strace and the kill loop will result in init being
left in state TASK_STOPPED. Sending SIGCONT to init will resume it, but
init will now respond to future SIGSTOP signals rather than ignoring
them.
Make sure that when setting SIGNAL_STOP_CONTINUED/SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED
that we don't clear SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE.
