It is not clear to me what do_wait() should do with ->autoreap child, even
ignoring ptrace.

Just suppose that real_parent has a single "autoreap" child. Should
wait(NULL) hanf then?

It should ignore the child that is set to autoreap. wait(NULL) should return -
ECHILD, indicating there are no children waiting to be reaped.

Right.  And I don't think the current code does this.  I think we need
to change wait_consider_task to early-return for ->autoreap just as it
does for task_state == EXIT_DEAD.  I'll do that in v2.
