[PATCH hci-8.0 10/12] system/cpus: hold off the BQL watchdog under a debugger #VSTOR-144507

["Denis V. Lunev" <den@openvz.org>]

From: Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org>

A debugger stops every thread, so the sequence counter freezes at an
odd value and the watchdog cannot tell that apart from an owner that
never lets go. Attaching gdb to a running guest would report a hang
that is not one.

Skip the report while a tracer is attached, and restart the count so
that a detach gets a full deadline before the watchdog can fire. Any
ptracer sets TracerPid, so strace holds the watchdog off as well.
