ptrace_stop: fix racy nonstop_code setting

Browse source 
If the tracer is gone and we are not going to stop, ptrace_stop() sets
->exit_code = nostop_code.  However, the tracer could actually clear the
exit code before detaching.  In that case get_signal_to_deliver() "resends"
the signal which was cancelled by the debugger.  For example, it is
possible that a quick PTRACE_ATTACH + PTRACE_DETACH can leave the tracee in
STOPPED state.

Change the behaviour of ptrace_stop().  If the caller is ptrace notify(),
we should always clear ->exit_code.  If the caller is
get_signal_to_deliver(), we should not touch it at all.  To do so, change
the nonstop_code parameter to "bool clear_code" and change the callers
accordingly.
