Subject[PATCH 1/2] utrace-core-kill-exclude_xtrace-logic
(on top of utrace-core.patch)

exclude_utrace() has no callers. exclude_ptrace() is called under
tasklist_lock + task_lock() but needs utrace->lock.

Remove this logic for now. We will either add utrace-ptrace or rework
this mutual exclusion later.
