[RFC,PATCH 08/14] tracehooks: kill some PT_PTRACED checks

No functional changes, preparation for utrace-ptrace.

task_ptrace() != 0 if and only if PT_PTRACED bit is set, kill
some PT_PTRACED checks in tracehook.h to ensure the result is
the same with or without utrace which doesn't set PT_PTRACED.
