Subject[patch 65/87] ptrace: reintroduce __ptrace_detach() as a callee of ptrace_exit()
2.6.29-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

commit b1b4c6799fb59e710454bfe0ab477cb8523a8667 upstream.

No functional changes, preparation for the next patch.

Move the "should we release this child" logic into the separate handler,
__ptrace_detach().
