job control: reorganize wait_task_stopped()

Browse Source 
wait_task_stopped() tested task_stopped_code() without acquiring
siglock and, if stop condition existed, called wait_task_stopped() and
directly returned the result.  This patch moves the initial
task_stopped_code() testing into wait_task_stopped() and make
wait_consider_task() fall through to wait_task_continue() on 0 return.

This is for the following two reasons.

* Because the initial task_stopped_code() test is done without
  acquiring siglock, it may race against SIGCONT generation.  The
  stopped condition might have been replaced by continued state by the
  time wait_task_stopped() acquired siglock.  This may lead to
  unexpected failure of WNOHANG waits.

  This reorganization addresses this single race case but there are
  other cases - TASK_RUNNING -> TASK_STOPPED transition and EXIT_*
  transitions.

* Scheduled ptrace updates require changes to the initial test which
  would fit better inside wait_task_stopped().
