Traversing the tasks requires holding tasklist_lock, otherwise it
is unsafe.

p.s. However, I'm not sure that calling os_kill_ptraced_process()
in the atomic context is correct. It seem to work, but please
take a closer look.
os_kill_ptraced_process() calls a host function.
From UML's point of view nothing sleeps, so this is fine.
