I actually think after fixing that it might be better to consider that kernel
*has* this bug. It's safer because two syscall would work if bug is present
or not. So it's just one syscall more (per-thread) for the unlikely case when
someone firstly filled kerndat under ptrace(). This way we will not end up
debugging this bug again. Makes sense?
