Well, PTRACE_KILL doesn't necessarily kill the tracee. Only if the tracee reported the signal or syscall, otherwise ->exit_code is ignored.
OTOH I agree, probably the flag clearing on PTRACE_KILL doesn't really matter beause PTRACE_KILL shouldn't be used at all.
The whole series looks "obviously good" to me, but of course this is up to arch maintaners.
