SubjectPtrace updates: event tracing for vfork finish and process exit [4/5]
This patch adds two new event hooks to ptrace:

PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT, which triggers in do_exit(). This is useful to quickly
find out where a program is making an exit syscall from, etc. - it
triggers before the mm is released, so we can still get backtraces et
cetera.

PTRACE_EVENT_VFORK_DONE triggers in do_fork() after the vfork completion,
i.e. when the child is done with the mm. This is a safe way to figure out
when we can re-insert breakpoints in the parent without the child hitting
them. It's the only safe way, in fact.

# --------------------------------------------
# 03/02/06 drow@nevyn.them.org 1.960
# Add PTRACE_O_TRACEVFORKDONE and PTRACE_O_TRACEEXIT facilities.
