Subject: WARNING in task_participate_group_stop

Hello,

I've hit the following WARNING on 6a13feb9c82803e2b815eca72fa7a9f5561d7861 (4.3)

------------[ cut here ]------------

The reproducer is (needs to be run as root):

// autogenerated by syzkaller (http://github.com/google/syzkaller)
#include <sys/ptrace.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main()
{
    int pid = 1;
    ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, 0, 0);
    ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, 0, PTRACE_O_EXITKILL);
    sleep(1);
    return 0;
}

Yes, it is weird and it kills init right afterwards. But I wasn't able
to figure out what's the root cause (why task does not have
JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING) and maybe the same WARNING can be triggered
without root and/or with other than init process. So still posting it
here.

Can somebody more knowledgeable in ptrace please take a look at the root cause?

Thanks
