[PATCH] Typo in do_syslog/__down_trylock lockup fix
Linus spotted one cut-n-pasto ('tracing' argument) but didn't see the other: we were walking the ptrace_children list by the sibling field. So we got garbage for your task_structs when this happened. If the list wasn't empty, it would crash. Strace detaches from all tasks when it receives a Control-C so only with enough threads and SMP would this be easily seen.
