Subject[PATCH] do_wait: do take security_task_wait() into account
I was never able to understand what should we actually do when
security_task_wait() fails, but the current code doesn't look right.

If ->task_wait() returns the error, we update *notask_error correctly.
But then we either reap the child (despite the fact this was forbidden)
or clear *notask_error (and hide the securiy policy problems).

This patch assumes that "stolen by ptrace" doesn't matter. If selinux
denies the child we should ignore it but make sure we report -EACCESS
instead of -ECHLD if there are no other eligible children.
