So, SIGCONT clears JOBCTL_TRAPPING and wakes up the tracer.

I can't really understand this without seeing the next changes, but
it seems this makes some things worse, although I am not sure.

For example. PTRACE_SEIZE should guarantee the tracee will trap and
report. However, if the tracee is stopped during attach, we can race
with SIGCONT. The previous version had the similar problem afaics, but
it was easy (I think) to fix. Now that SIGCONT clears JOBCTL_TRAPPING
we need more complications.

Oleg.
