    Don't explicitly set clone child ptrace options
    
    linux_handle_extended_wait calls target_post_attach if we're handling
    a PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE, and libthread_db.so isn't active.
    target_post_attach just calls linux_init_ptrace_procfs to set the
    lwp's ptrace options.  However, this is completely unnecessary,
    because, as man ptrace [1] says, options are inherited:
    
      "Flags are inherited by new tracees created and "auto-attached" via
       active PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK, PTRACE_O_TRACEVFORK, or PTRACE_O_TRACECLONE
       options."
    
    This removes the unnecessary call.
