Subject[PATCH] ia64: ptrace: kill thread_matches()
Trivial. thread_matches() has no callers since
e868a55c2a8cb72b66d7137fbcc54b82016e98eb, remove it.

Ironically, this helper is the only user of ptrace_check_attach()
outside of kernel/ptrace.c, and it was always wrong because it must
not use "might_sleep" ptrace_check_attach() under tasklist.
