      This patch fixes bug #12208:
      
        Bug-Entry       : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12208
        Subject         : uml is very slow on 2.6.28 host
      
      This turned out to be not a scheduler regression, but an already
      existing problem in ptrace being triggered by subtle scheduler
      changes.
      
      The problem is this:
      
       - task A is ptracing task B
       - task B stops on a trace event
       - task A is woken up and preempts task B
       - task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach()
       - this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq
       - task A goes to sleep for a jiffy
       - ...
      
      Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add
      up to make it slow as hell.
      
      This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after
      ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer.
      
      Thanks to Oleg Nesterov and Ingo Molnar for the feedback.
