[PATCH] tracehook: fix CLONE_PTRACE

In the change in commit 09a05394fe2448a4139b014936330af23fa7ec83, I
overlooked two nits in the logic and this broke using CLONE_PTRACE
when PTRACE_O_TRACE* are not being used.

A parent that is itself traced at all but not using PTRACE_O_TRACE*,
using CLONE_PTRACE would have its new child fail to be traced.

A parent that is not itself traced at all that uses CLONE_PTRACE
(which should be a no-op in this case) would confuse the bookkeeping
and lead to a crash at exit time.

This restores the missing checks and fixes both failure modes.
