signal: Don't disable preemption in ptrace_stop() on PREEMPT_RT

Browse Source 
On PREEMPT_RT keeping preemption disabled during the invocation of
cgroup_enter_frozen() is a problem because the function acquires
css_set_lock which is a sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT and must not be
acquired with disabled preemption.

The preempt-disabled section is only for performance optimisation reasons
and can be avoided.

Extend the comment and don't disable preemption before scheduling on
PREEMPT_RT.

* On PREEMPT_RT locking tasklist_lock does not disable preemption.
* Therefore the task can be preempted after do_notify_parent_cldstop()
