ptrace_stop: fix the race with ptrace detach+attach

If the tracer went away (may_ptrace_stop() failed), ptrace_stop() drops
tasklist and then changes the ->state from TASK_TRACED to TASK_RUNNING.

This can fool another tracer which attaches to us in between.  Change the
->state under tasklist_lock to ensure that ptrace_check_attach() can't wrongly
succeed.  Also, remove the unnecessary mb().
