reparent_thread: fix the "is it traced" check

reparent_thread() uses ptrace_reparented() to check whether this thread is
ptraced, in that case we should not notify the new parent.

But ptrace_reparented() is not exactly correct when the reparented thread
is traced by /sbin/init, because forget_original_parent() has already
changed ->real_parent.

Currently, the only problem is the false notification.  But with the next
patch the kernel crash in this (yes, pathological) case.
