[PATCH 16/31] reintroduce tracehook_finish_jctl() as utrace_end_stop()

utrace_finish_stop() is needed to avoid the races with SIGKILL which
wakes up UTRACED task, and thus it should be called every time after
the STOPPED/TRACED/UTRACED returns from schedule(), remember that
TASK_UTRACED can be added while the task is STOPPED/UTRACED.

- change do_signal_state() to call this helper right after schedule(),
  otherwise this logic is broken by the upstream changes

- now that utrace doesn't control TASK_TRACED bit, ptrace_stop() must
  call this helper too.
