signals, ptrace, sched: Fix a misaligned load inside ptrace_attach()
The misaligned load exception arises when running ptrace_attach() on the RISC-V (which hasn't been upstreamed yet). The problem is that wait_on_bit() takes a void* but then proceeds to call test_bit(), which takes a long*. This allows an int-aligned pointer to be passed to test_bit(), which promptly fails. This will manifest on any other asm-generic port where unaligned loads trap, where sizeof(long) > sizeof(int), and where task_struct.jobctl ends up not being long-aligned. This patch changes task_struct.jobctl to be a long, which ensures it has the correct alignment.
