Since commit 00cd5c37afd5 ("ptrace: permit ptracing of /sbin/init") we
can now trace init processes.  init is initially protected with
SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE which will prevent fatal signals such as SIGSTOP, but
there are a number of paths during tracing where SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE can
be implicitly cleared.

This can result in init becoming stoppable/killable after tracing.  For
example, running:

  while true; do kill -STOP 1; done &
  strace -p 1

and then stopping strace and the kill loop will result in init being
left in state TASK_STOPPED.  Sending SIGCONT to init will resume it, but
init will now respond to future SIGSTOP signals rather than ignoring
them.

Make sure that when setting SIGNAL_STOP_CONTINUED/SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED
that we don't clear SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE.
