Linux: No need to set ptrace event options in fork/clone children.

Oleg Nesterov told me that the Linux kernel copies the parent's ptrace
options to fork/clone children, so there's no need for GDB to do that
manually.

I was actually a bit surprised, since I thought the ptracer had to
always set the ptrace options itself, and GDB is indeed calling
PTRACE_SETOPTIONS for each new fork child, if it'll stay attached.

Looking at the history of that code, I found that is was actually I
who added that set-ptrace-options-in-children bit, back in
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-05/msg00656.html.  But,
honestly, I don't recall why I needed that.  I think I may have just
blindly believed it was necessary.

I then looked back at the history of all the PTRACE_SETOPTIONS code we
have, and found that gdb never did copy the ptrace options before my
patch.  But, when gdbserver learnt to use PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE, at
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-10/msg00547.html, it was
made to do 'ptrace (PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, new_pid, 0,
PTRACE_O_TRACECLONE)' for all new clones.  Hmmm.  But, GDB itself
never did that, so it can't really ever have been necessary, I
believe, otherwise GDB should have been doing it too.

(GDBserver doesn't support following forks, and so naturally doesn't
do any PTRACE_SETOPTIONS on fork children.)

So this patch removes the -I believe- unnecessary ptrace syscalls.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native/gdbserver, and on x86_64 RHEL5
native/gdbserver (Linux 2.6.18, I think a ptrace-on-utrace kernel).
No regressions.
