ptrace: the killed tracee should not enter the syscall
Another old/known problem. If the tracee is killed after it reports syscall_entry, it starts the syscall and debugger can't control this. This confuses the users and this creates the security problems for ptrace jailers. Change tracehook_report_syscall_entry() to return non-zero if killed, this instructs syscall_trace_enter() to abort the syscall.
