Ptrace updates: CLONE_PTRACE should use force_sig_specific [3/5]

Subject:  Ptrace updates: CLONE_PTRACE should use force_sig_specific [3/5]

Right now, CLONE_PTRACE uses send_sig(SIGSTOP, p, 1).  If you use
CLONE_THREAD | CLONE_PTRACE, though, this SIGSTOP gets broadcast to the
entire thread group.  That's not what was intended; we only want the one
new thread to stop.  Fixed like so.

# Use force_sig_specific to send SIGSTOP to newly-created CLONE_PTRACE processes.
