[PATCH 10/26] ptrace: Simplify ptrace_detach & exit_ptrace

From: Eric W. Biederman <hidden>
Date: 2017-06-06 19:12:39
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: ptrace support, the rest · Maintainers: Oleg Nesterov, Linus Torvalds

Call __ptrace_unlink not __ptrace_detach.  As it is guaranteed that
ptrace_detach will never be called on a process that has or may exit.

Rename __ptrace_detach __exit_ptrace as exit_ptrace is now it's only
caller and the corrected name is less confusing.
