fix dangling zombie when new parent ignores children

This fixes an arcane bug that we think was a regression introduced
by commit b2b2cbc4b2.  When a parent
ignores SIGCHLD (or uses SA_NOCLDWAIT), its children would self-reap
but they don't if it's using ptrace on them.  When the parent thread
later exits and ceases to ptrace a child but leaves other live
threads in the parent's thread group, any zombie children are left
dangling.  The fix makes them self-reap then, as they would have
done earlier if ptrace had not been in use.
