ptrace: Collapse ptrace_untrace() into __ptrace_unlink()
Remove the extra task_is_traced() check in __ptrace_unlink() and
collapse ptrace_untrace() into __ptrace_unlink(). This is to prepare
for further changes.
While at it, drop the comment on top of ptrace_untrace() and convert
__ptrace_unlink() comment to docbook format. Detailed comment will be
added by the next patch.
This patch doesn't cause any visible behavior changes.
