tracehook: fix CLONE_PTRACE
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In the change in commit 09a0539, I
overlooked two nits in the logic and this broke using CLONE_PTRACE
when PTRACE_O_TRACE* are not being used.

A parent that is itself traced at all but not using PTRACE_O_TRACE*,
using CLONE_PTRACE would have its new child fail to be traced.

A parent that is not itself traced at all that uses CLONE_PTRACE
(which should be a no-op in this case) would confuse the bookkeeping
and lead to a crash at exit time.

This restores the missing checks and fixes both failure modes.
