ptrace: simplify ptrace_exit()->ignoring_children() path
ignoring_children() takes parent->sighand->siglock and checks k_sigaction[SIGCHLD] atomically. But this buys nothing, we can't get the "really" wrong result even if we race with sigaction(SIGCHLD). If we read the "stale" sa_handler/sa_flags we can pretend it was changed right after the check. Remove spin_lock(->siglock), and kill "int ign" which caches the result of ignoring_children() which becomes rather trivial. Perhaps it makes sense to export this helper, do_notify_parent() can use it too.
