Sorry, it's a leftover from one of the previous versions. Fixed.

So, the idea here is to make ptrace traps and fatal signals working, but
non-fatal shouldn't be delivered.

As soon as the frozen task is looping in the signal delivery loop, it's fine,
it's not going anywhere.

Without the change above the task is getting out of schedule() immediately,
if any signal is pending (including non-fatals). So it becomes a busy-loop.

It's a good point. So I need an additional synchronization around
checking/setting the JOBCTL_TRAP_FREEZE?

Sure.

Makes sense. Will follow this path in v5.

Thank you!
