Christoph Hellwig 6b9c7ed848 [PATCH] use ptrace_get_task_struct in various places
The ptrace_get_task_struct() helper that I added as part of the ptrace
consolidation is useful in variety of places that currently opencode it.
Switch them to the common helpers.

Add a ptrace_traceme() helper that needs to be explicitly called, and simplify
the ptrace_get_task_struct() interface.  We don't need the request argument
now, and we return the task_struct directly, using ERR_PTR() for error
returns.  It's a bit more code in the callers, but we have two sane routines
that do one thing well now.
