ptrace: revert "ptrace_detach: the wrong wakeup breaks the ERESTARTxxx logic"

Commit 95a3540da9c81a5987be810e1d9a83640a366bd5 ("ptrace_detach: the wrong
wakeup breaks the ERESTARTxxx logic") removed the "extra"
wake_up_process() from ptrace_detach(), but as Jan pointed out this breaks
the compatibility.

I believe the changelog is right and this wake_up() is wrong in many
ways, but GDB assumes that ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, child, 0, 0) always
wakes up the tracee.

Despite the fact this breaks SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED/group_stop_count logic,
and despite the fact this wake_up_process() can break another
assumption: PTRACE_DETACH with SIGSTOP should leave the tracee in
TASK_STOPPED case.  Because the untraced child can dequeue SIGSTOP and
call do_signal_stop() before ptrace_detach() calls wake_up_process().

Revert this change for now.  We need some fixes even if we we want to keep
the current behaviour, but these fixes are not for 2.6.30.
